Oh Caoch o Leary has brought a tear to my eye, as I haven't heard it in so many years my father god rest him used to recite this poem .And I only came across it by accident , My dad left school when he was just 12 due to sickness and did not have any further education, but he loved to read and he must have learnt this off by heart as oh so many times I remember him reciting so many lines of this poem. love this poem and I shall now pass it on to my own children.
Tis of a time long gone by. A tale so well expressed in so few lines. God bless old Ireland and its people.❤
