- In Cill Acadh Urláír is still to be seen the ruin of the church-yard
- Here I lay down my head to sleep.
To Almighty God I give my soul to keep. There are four corners in my bed.
There are four angels over me spread.
One to guard me, one to guide me,
Two to carry my soul to Heaven.
Mathew Mark, Luke and John,
God bless this bed that I lie on.
