    (continued from previous page)
    Grand flowing lakes in crystals
    And vales of emerald green.
    Oh there is not in this wide World,
    A grander place to view,
    Than the lovely dells where Zepher dwells.
    In beautiful old Loughcrew."
    Loughcrew means the lake of the branchy trees and so near Knocklough Crossroads you find this lake spoken of, surrounded by great trees and completely invisible to the passers-by.
