John Breen, Aughdubh, Camross Aged 67:The following is a collection of Ryan’s Poems.His house can still be traced beside the “Foot Stick”, over the River Tonnet, between Marymount and Rosnaclonan – in the Barony of Upperwoods.
Authority: Michael Phelan Rosnaclonan.Dear Ryan is no more.The muses are gone with their favourite Bard
To fields of illusion their toil to reward
To lofty old the trumpet of fame
To a far distant nation their voices proclaim
While echoes remurmur round Erin’s green shore
And whispers in silence, “Dear Ryan is no more”.II

Alas our fond poet shall we never behold
The “famous Delour” his favourite song
In heedess murmurs may wander along(continues on next page)
