  1. Amhráin (continued)

    There is a flower of attractive power

    (continued from previous page)
    I'd plunge in all my misery,
    Or again that lovely flower.
    I'd seek a way both night and day
    Till the grave would be my doom
    For I'd be blind or else I'd find
    "The Rose of Aughnabrone."
    This poem which is about Hannah Connolly now Mrs Whelan of Clonmel was written by Michael Kelly of Churchtown, Carrick-on-Suir. Mrs Whelan is alive. She is living in Clonmel still. She is an aunt of Michael Connolly of Feddins, Rathgormack, Co Waterford.

    Oh, William Crotty didn't I tell you,
    That David Norris would surely sell you,
    He did surround you when you were sleeping,
    Ochone, ochone, ochone,

    He stole your powder,
    And left you helpless in the midst of alarms,
