Excerpt from Idylls of Ireland: Some Celtic Legends, Done Into Metre

The Abbot Of Innisfallen.

A Legend Of Killarney.

Rathe on a summer's mom, ere yet the sun
Made incense of the dew on Mangerton,
And bade the good birds wake, and choir their hymns,
On Innisfallen Isle, where every flower,
And lap of wave, and bower, and blade of grass,
And lustrous leaf of everlasting green,
And slumbrous mossy knoll, and blossoming vale,
Seem but the letters of God's alphabet,
That syllable the words: "The Prince of Peace:
The Lord of Love: and the Eternal King:"
The Abbot of Augustine's Abbey prayed.
