In The Country Of His Heart Poem by John F. McCullagh

In The Country Of His Heart



In the shadow of Ben Bulben
off the road from Mullaghmore
in the parish yard of Drumcliffe
you will find me there for sure.
It is a fair spot where I lie
Here in my native loam.
This was my heart's desire
This was my mother's family home.
How beautiful is Sligo
that I nevermore will see.
I've now become a part of that
which was a part of me.
