Guth & Tuairim, Samhain/Nollaig 1983

The Loughanure Shore One evening of late as I rambled 'Round the edge of the rough rocky shore, I remembered the days of my boyhood, And companions not there anymore. It was there that we all p~ ~yed together, 'Till the bones in our bodies were sore, But now I am only a dreamer Alone on the Loughanure Shore. The "gentry" they came in their hundreds To fish and be part of the scene, The view form the lake it was lovely as t he fileds were an emerald green. Ilut the years they have altered t he pi cture Gone are the days of Yore. The f i elds are now dull and deserted 0 _;--ond by the Loughanure Shore. The swans they were there in abundance, As t hey selfishly guarded their care and they nested on heathery islands The home of the pigeons s o fair, But t he wildli fe has also departed Together wither seanachas and lore , The cry of the curlew is silenced Around by the Loughanure Shore. The limekilns ar e now onl y history wher e once t hey were f actories for all. The smoke from their wide open chimneys Was seen around West Donegal. No fortunes were made from that venture By our fathers who lived here before, But they managed to eke out a living Around by the L oughanure Shore . The tech it was there for the learning, And served the townlands around, But now it stands lonely and vacant, The structure itself is unsound. But 'though its classrooms are empty, And will not be used anymore, The name is still over the doorway Overlooking the Loughanure Shore. What attracts Berni to McFadden's Hotel?

While I'm not an opposer of changes Although I am sixty or more, There is no one will change my opinion, That there's changes on Loughanure Shore. The years are now closing around ~e, I am not now as fit as before, Perhaps that is why I'm lamenting As I ramble around the "Loch Mhor," But if I was afforded a deathwish I would definitely settle the score, And spend the whole of eternity Around by the Loughanure Shore.
