    Sweet vale of repose your inmates be blest
    Now and hereafter find comfort and rest
    Pleasure they wish for may they all be there own
    And long may they florish round green Inishowen.

    “Twas on a dewy summer's night, it hounds my recollection still”

    Twas on a dewy summer's night
    It haunts my recollection still
    The sun had drawn away his light
    Grey mist encircled every hill
    And not a sound fell on my ears
    Except Lough Swilly's constant lay
    And it was musical to hear
    It made a drowsy nature gay.
    II
    Upon a rugged rock I sat
    And Father Kearney sat with me
    He told me a tradition that
    In life should not forgotten be
    He told me and it sent a shock
    Of horror thro my heart and brain
