NOT as a woman of the English weeping over a lord of the <br />English <br />Do I weep— <br />A cry that scarcely stirs the heart! <br />I lament as it is in my blood to lament— <br />Castle and stronghold are broken, <br />And the sovereign of the land beside the lake lies dead <br />Mahon O'Reilly! <br />In his day the English were broken: <br />I weep beside Loch Sheelin and the day is long and grey!<br /><br />Padraic Colum<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/breffne-caoinc/
