Thread Name: Lyr Req: Irish myth in folksongs
Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Irish myth in folksongs
Further up the Thread I referred to The Red Branch Knights, mentioned in Thomas Moore`s "Let Erin remember", he also refers to in the second verse,

   "On Lough Neagh`s banks as the fisherman strays in the clear cool eve declining,

He see the Round Towers of other days in the waves beneath them shining".

As a child, I had many a swim in Lough Neagh and was always disappointed on not seeing those fabled Towers.
