Good Fortune of Lusmore

Good Fortune of Lusmore Lusmore lived close and near Aherlowey Which was by gloomy Mount Galtee And on his back he wore a high hump When Lusmore walked he had to slump. While walking from Cahir to Coppagh Lusmore passed through a soggy bog And Knockgrafton moat was nearby Moon over Gilgal was high in the sky. Started to rest beneath a tall tree All was quite and nothing could he see Then came there words DaLuan DaMort T'was a song sang by a fine fairy court. Lusmore too also started to sing along And as he gaily sang this great song Words Angus DaDarden he did add All of the fairies loved it and were glad. The many fairies liked and honored Lusmore And took of his high hump that he bore Ended up in a slumber that was so deep This all happened after he fell fast asleep. When he awoke now was a happy man None of this did anyone ever understand Lusmore remained there contented still And he enjoying life living beneath a hill. James Thomas Horn, Retired Veteran
