    (continued from previous page)
    The freedom that around thee shone
    The flag that crown'd thy towers gray.
    Yet standeth thou in Splendour there
    Despite grim ruin and decay,
    Clad in thy robes of ivy gray
    How bright thou seemest and how fair.
    Collected by Lizzie Kearns (Floughena)
    Composed by -:
    John O' Dowd (ex. M.P.)
    Bunninadden
    When he was in Sligo jail.
    Transcribed by a member of our volunteer transcription project.
