   I, lonely seek the silent glen
   Where first my heart adored her,
   The thorn-hedge stands - the brook runs by -
   The grass-green robes are worn.
   By flow'ry dells -but she's not there
   To gladden Balnavoran.

   
   (IX)

   Departed loved ones! some have fled,
   Whose golden worth snatched from us,
   Have found beyond the western wave
   A land of faithless promise:
   While hate and scorn are there endured;
   Which here too long were borne;
   A holy grave were better far
   Near ruind'd Balnavoran.

   
   (X)

   And I, even I, who sadly sing
   Of Fortune's fatal turn,
   May soon in Death's cold silence lie
   'Neath some neglected urn;
   And none perhaps shall sing my dirge,
   Let fall a tear, or mourn
   The simple bard who loved so well,
   And weeps o'er Balnavoran.

   
   Note:- Balnavoran is part of the townland of Meath Hill and is called "Balty" for shortness. At the time this poem
