    (continued from previous page)
    The foregoing poem "An Dan Breac" used to be sung at wakes by old people who had it. Nancy Callan from Lisnamoyle (who was cottering where Owney McBride now lives) taught the foregoing poem to Mrs Mary McMahon of Dian (when Mary was a young girl) for a few yards of yarn.

    The following verses I took down from Mrs. McMahon of Dian - before mentioned.
    Ó Caoin Éire na Seirce, tá me do do caoineadh go bhfuil tart orm.
    Bhal, ars an fear gurab é scadán greigeal d'fhág a tart ort.
    Éirigidh suas is triallaighidh go Co. Dúin na nGall
    Casfaidh Pádraig orthaibh agus béidh sé libh
    Nuair a rachas sibh isteach ins na mbádaí
    Béidh na grástaí da roinn
    Thart ar seipéal Chríosta agus ó shoin go leach na mbonn
    Goidé mur ngroithe go Loch Dearg, na gur chuir sibh fearg ar mur Rí,
    Chan Loch Dearg é, ach Loch na nDeór agus an áithrighe.
