   Unpublished poetry composed in this parish in the last century. I got this poem from Mrs. E. Cotter Derrynafinchin Borlinn, Aged 78.

   The Rustic Miner

   My home is in the mountain tops
   My bed's among the willows
   I envy not the lazy fops
   Who lounge on downy pillows
   What care I for a city life
   For nought to me seems finer
   Than to be free from crowded strife
   And be a rustic miner.

   Let farmers prate of cows and bulls
   And soldiers talk of fighting
   And sailors sing cross-yards and hulls
   And lawyers live by writing
   But I'll not swop for any trade
   From governor down to joiner
   Of hard work I was ne'er afraid
   For I'm a rustic miner.

   And when the sun with radiant hue,
   Peeps o'er the eastern mountain,
   To quaff the morning's glistening dew,
   Or gild the rippling fountain
