I
In the gay years of my boyhood,
One day I rambled down
Along the crumbling Old Street of
Portumna ancient Town.
II
A hoot old woman met me,
She was withered lame and grey,
And as she struggled forward
She kept muttering away.
III
I asked her for her history
And the favout of her name
If she was born here about
If not, from whence she came.
IV
A ray of light shot from her eyes
Like lightnings vivid flash
As she answered without pausing
Saying my name is Máire Nash.
Since the gallant sons of Redmond
Buthe spread desolation round
Very ancestors were teated up here
On a small bit of ground.(continues on next page)- Informant
