  1. (continued from previous page)
    Was Mary Og Machree.
    IV
    In Callow's lone and shady groves,
    Some comely maidens dwell.
    But she the queen of perfumed flowers,
    From the Callow maidens fell.
    No more the Summer sun will shine,
    On our meadows cheerily.
    Since you beneath the clay now sleep,
    Young Mary Og Machree.
