Still grows the vivacious lilac a generation after the door and lintel and the sill are gone, unfolding its sweet - scented flowers each spring, to be plucked by the musing traveller; planted and tended once by children's hands, in front- yard plots -- now standing by wallsides in retired pastures, and giving place to new- rising forests; -- the last of that stirp, sole survivor of that family.
Fós a fhásann an vivacious lilac glúin i ndiaidh an doras agus lindéir and ar leac an chláir atá imithe, unfolding a milis- scented bláthanna gach earrach, a bheidh le chluimhriú ag an lucht siúil musing; curtha agus Seanad Éireann uair amháin ag leanaí lámha, i os comhair- chlós ceapach - seasamh anois ag wallsides in scor féarach, agus an áit a thabhairt do nua- ardú foraoisí; - an ceann deireanach de go stirp, an sól marthanóir sin teaghlaigh.QED QED
