- (continued from previous page)Yet, tho' this castle kingly stands
For years of grimly daring
The spoilers' conquering merciless hands
Its hardest rocks are wearing
And when its ruins will strew the side
Of noble Shannon's river
The mighty, grand, unerring tide
Will roll as fresh as ever.But, oh! who rules the punctual tide
That oft so madly rages,
That has the hands of time defied
Throughout the countless ages?
Tis He who made earth, sea and sky
And stirs and calms the ocean
Tis He who governs from on high
And guides each ordered motion.
Written by Mr James Moran, deceased.
