“My bear Rebel Dan I enclose you a view of Glanworth and places well known to you.”
My Dear Rebel Dan I enclose you a view
Of Glanworth and places well known to you
The place of your birth a place you love dear
It will bring you to mind the glad days you spent here.
IIThe days when the men in the gap were preparing
To break all the chains that were binding old Erin
You wrote me to know all about the kind faces
The Abbey, the castle and all the old places
The roofless old Church and the graveyard where lie
All our friends and where we'll be to-morrow bye and bye. lllThe moat near the graveyard you remember quite well
When you were over here 'twas called "Noonans Hotel"
Sheehans Castle and Cross near Chronee Blessed Well
And the clothes out to dry to make ready to sell lV
The mill and the mill house by Bohertrohane
And Ned Lane on the Bridge watching salmon to spawn(continues on next page)
