growing up in drumbally

Author in 1944 - taken at Glassdrummond School "I remember, I remember
The house where I was born,
The little window where the sun
Came peeping in at morn;
He never came a wink too soon
Nor brought too short a day;
But now, I often wish the night
Had bourne my breath away."

Thomas Hood (1799-1845)
