    In Cloonmore there dwells a maid
    She is the fairest of the fair
    Her queenly face and her golden hair
    She far exceeds them all
    Upon my soul, my heart she stole
    Oh! she is the girl I do adore
    My darling girl, she is the pride and pearl
    Of charming sweet Cloonmore

    I intend to visit sweet Cloonmore
    And that, before 'tis long
    The turning mill and the river still
    Flows gently down the grove
    The salmon spawn within the lawn
    Convenient to Cloonmore
    The above poem about Cloonmore was composed by Mr Dominick Owens, Bracloonagh, Carracastle, Co Mayo.
    Transcribed by a member of our volunteer transcription project.
