Memorial to Irish Famine victims
‘Immortal Memories’ Immortal memories that speak to me, Written in songs of the past Neath beaten sacred soil reclining, In vaults of stone they cast Figures toiling and bent, Broken in their sorrows Land flayed and famished, Starving children’s lost tomorrows Whispering winds from long ago, Singing on the corn Lives and dreams resounding, Was so swiftly flown Glorious daylight spreading, Songbirds singing sweet, Joyous melodies playing, Sweetened their defeat I gaze upon their land, And see my children play Their laughter ringing clear, Still live for them today By Mary Cecil ‘Written in memory of those lives swept away in Rathlin during the great famine of 1847’

Written with great sensitivity for their losses. I see you contrasting your children, in essence living in their place, but with freedom and happiness. This is a sad, but yet hopeful poem.

This was an agony of a land that drove many to come to Canada and US in search of a new chance...they were the lucky ones, many more were not so lucky and the horror stories I read about boggled the mind and drew pain to the heart...well done Mary.
