   V
   Alas! these chimes peal forth no more.
   From turret grey, or belfry hoar.
   No more the vesper chant shall wake
   A silvery echo o'er the lake.
   Thy glory is gone - Mullandoe.
   Old Muckno's Abbey walls are low
   The wild rose and the pimpernel.
   Bloom o'er the hermits ruined cell.
   And lowing kine unheeding roam.
   Where stood Saint Maeldoids cloistered home
   How sad, that persecution dared.
   To wreck, what time might long have spared
   To-day that rank grass gently waves.
   O'er nameless tombs, and humble graves.
   Where side by side in hallowed shade.
   The Abbot, Priest and Monk are laid
   And oft the pilgrim breathes a prayer.
   For all the dear departed there.
   Wishing in death a humble grave.
   Near those who sleep by Muckno's wave.
