  1. The Phoenix of Fingall

    "The Phoenix of Fingall"
    On day for recreation
    And silent meditation
    Near to a sweet plantation
    I carelessly did stray
    Where floras decoration in rich did situate
    Or rural habitation
    That lay along the way.
    Being wrapped in contemplation
    And reviewing the creation
    Is grand illustration
    I thought her extol
    Where to my admiration
    I spied a consolation
    Who's proper application
    It was the Phoenix of Fingall
    Máire Ní Chaoimh, Main St., Birr.
