- I'm sitting watching a coal fire burning,
But my heart and my thoughts are far from here
For on fancys pinnions are they turning
To where Corks dear old peaks appear
There is some thing here on the shelf before me
And oh with what reapture my heart it fills
What a flood of memories it brings oh'r me
Tis a sod of turf from the Bogeragh Hills.

I brought away as a souvernir.
A little thought that beyond the ocean
Twould one day cause me to shed a tear
But I will not stop that tear from flowing
At the thoughts of Ireland valleys and rills.(continues on next page)- Collector
