  1. Poll an Eas

    Share Share Post
    Poul an Eas
    Never more shall I see thee dark Poul an Eas
    Shall I behold or hear thy flood,
    For thy loved banks no more I'll pass
    Or wander by Killeany woods.
    It was there the cowslips were first seen,
    To deck those sheltered banks so green.
    For they loved banks no more I'll pass
    Or wander by Killeany woods.
    Turn then to where my youth was spend
    Long beside my native home
    Where Saxon rents and Saxon Laws
    Compelled us here from there to roam
    But if her sons united were,
    There need not be an exile here
    For grave should be the grabbers end.
