    The Windy Gap included
    To the castle of Dunloe
    Aghadoe so sunny
    The Wooded Glen next coming
    And shrubbery crowned Muckross

    To Innisfallen Island
    The poet eulogised it
    The bed of Owen is sited
    On the border of Lough Leine

    In the centre of Leine.

    Appears Daniel in the water
    With his grey steed adorning
    Through the centre of Lough Leine

    Besides a reptile warding
    In forty feet of water
    From the borders of Lough Leine
