BY RICHARD RYAN.

"On Lough Neagh's banks as the fisherman strays,
"When the clear cold eve's declining,

"He sees the round towers of other days
"In the wave beneath him shining:

"Thus shall memory often, in dreams sublime,
"Catch a glimpse of the days that are over;
"Thus, sighing, look through the waves of time,
"For the long faded glories they cover.'
