Gyp -- thanks.

Here's the actual poem set to music by Liam Clancy.

Clancy's musical rendition of Todhunter's Aghadoe

Excellent.  Old Liam does it justice.  Some lovely photographs too.

Thanks for the link Tracy. 
The repeats annoyed me when I read the poem...they work with music!

Colm -- kind of you to respond in that manner. Todhunter, as we recall, was 'before Yeats'.

I think both sound better when recited with a fake Irish accent -- something I doubt you can accomplish. :D :D
