Local Song (continued)
“There upon the rocky hillside ¶ with the waste of bog below”
(continued from previous page)Stands that barn old an hoary
as my young eyes used to know it.
When this world was full of sunshine and this life was young and free.
On its roof of straw and rushes grew the roses of the ages.
And though its door was innocent of Knocker or of bell
It bore engraved initials of the oldest rustic ages.
Who christened it I know not why.
The Shelbourne Hotel.

Who from Reaghstown post office bought the far famed Democrat.
Assembled to discuss the strike and better their condition.
Made by the district council who in Ardee workhouse sat.
