   The following are verses from "Mo Craoibin Cno," referred to by Mitchell. They are said to have been written while Walsh was teaching in Waterford, though they would indicate that he was in Dublin at the time of the writing :-
   My heart is far from Liffey's side
   And Dublin town;
   It strays beyond the southern side
   Of Knockmealdown,
   Where Cappoquin had woodlands green,
   Where Avon Mor's waters flow;
   Where dwells unsung, unsought, unseen,
   Mo Craoibhin Cno.
   Low clustering in her leafy screen,
   Mo Craoibhin Cno.

   The high bred dames of Dublin town,
   Are rich and fair,
   With wavy plumes and silken gown
   And stately air
   Can plumes compare thy dark brown hair?
   Can silks thy neck of snow?
   Or measured pace thine endless grace,
