  1. The Burial of Aubrey de Vere of Curraghchase

    Share Share Post
    Oh, gentle Bard, whose spotless spirit soared
    From halls to grander mansions with the Lord
    We welcome sadly thy frail relics here,
    And shed, on thy fresh tomb, a silent tear
    The time is meet for thy chosen grave
    As wild flowers soon o'er thy breast shall wave

    In days to come, when kindred genius seeks
    Thy place of rest, with pride Askeaton speaks
    And points with reverent finger to thy shrine
    That holds the noblest of the noble line
    The place is meet, by the moaning Deel
    Where waters caoin thee, as tho' they feel
    Transcribed by a member of our volunteer transcription project.
