THE FAIRIES' PROMISE.

Lover and maiden who chance to stray,
When sunset blushes on lone Glen Maye;
Never shall vow that is plighted here,
Be broken on earth in its faith sincere.
For we wrought a charm and we breathed a spell,
Ever and aye in its bowers to dwell ;
A charm of love that shall ne'er decay,
If ye plight but your promise in sweet Glen Maye.

Waterfall and Glen Maye

THIS charming place of resort has, at great expense, been laid out with beautiful Walks, which extend several miles, Summer Houses, Seats, &c Six Bridges have been erected The one over the celebrated Waterfall measures 81 ft. 6 inches above the bed of the river. The Fairies' Bridge, from which the spectator obtains a view of the Fall, presents one of the most romantic pictures on the Island The Glen abounds with rich specimens of Ferns — the Osmunda Regalis, Maiden Hair, Adder's Tongue, Hart's Tongue, and many others too numerous to mention. There are beautiful Groves, Fountains, Springs, Caverns, and Borings made by the ancient Romans, scattered throughout the Glen. Direct communication is now obtained to the shore through the Carricks, which range from 300 to 1,000 feet in height, the haunt of the Falcon, Curlew, Sea Pigeon, and numerous other sea birds. The Bay affords the most productive fishing ground round Mona's Isle.
