    Mairin de Barra - this poem was on the Leaving Cert Course in 1988. I don't have the book anymore. I have looked on the internet and the texts I see there have differences with the poem that I learned. Has anyone here got a copy of the version I am seeking? Or can you advise me where I might get it?

    Try your old school. If there is an Irish teacher in their 50s there, they should have the book. Teachers are very bad at throwing out books. Otherwise, if you can remember the title of the book you used, post it here and I will ask an ex-colleague.
