Farewell to Aghnaseagh
The land of my forebears
Where the blackbird sang at morning
And the curlew called at dusk
The stranger walks my meadows now
His cattle graze my hill
And all the names I grew up with
Are names the new maps kill
But the mountain does not answer
To the name the planter gives
The river keeps its own name
In the mouth of all who live
