  Anthony Raftery died at Craughwell, Co. Galway, October 1835 I am Raftery the Poet Full of hope and love, With eyes that have no light, With gentleness that has no misery. Going west upon my pilgrimage By the light of my heart, Feeble and tired To the end of my road. Behold me now, And my face to the wall, A-playing music Unto empty pockets. Douglas Hyde. |
