“During the land troubles in Ireland the Irish poets were busy writing home.”
(continued from previous page)III
It told how a widow, a true friend in need
As if sent from Heaven to the outcasts in need Brought them to her cabin where logs were burning bright
The widow and her children wept tears of delight
"I know I'm doing wrong" the poor old woman said
I'm giving you a shelter in this poor humble shed
