  1. Local Stanzas - Poem on Scurmore

    "Poem on Scurmore."
    I
    The eye can soar to fair Scurmore
    That greets the Orient Beams,
    Surrounded well by oceans swell
    And Moys divided stream.
    II.
    Her calm repose at evenings close
    When loved by the flowing tide
    Her shaded light at growing night
    Makes poets there to glide
    III
    All founded rand on shifting sand
    Old Wingfield reared this dome
    And best is seen at close of e'en
    From the crags of Ennescrone.
