    A Legend of Lough Sheelin
    Orwin and Sebana
    Wild shone the moon o'er Sheelin's wave
    And silent night involved the world
    When Orwin left his secret cave
    Where round his home the white wave curled
    From splendid home and festive halls
    By wars oppressive power driven
    Alone he mourned his early fall
