The curse of Loughmourne

This one's for the good folk of County Antrim! I've just been going through my late mum's papers and have found a printed copy of an anonymous poem about Loughmourne, an area situated a couple of miles north of my old home town of Carrickfergus. For a transcription of the poem, and some background to the area that it concerns, visit my other wee blog at http://walkingineternity.blogspot.co.uk/2014/10/the-curse-of-loughmourne_29.html
