A wayside graveyard — such is mine,
A place about from toil and care.
So ancient quaint its name Cooline
Remembrance wakes with love and prayer.II
It is not that the landscape thrills.
It is not that the skies are fair.
Far dearer, sweeter are the ills
My soul hath known and cherished there.III
The nearest, dearest, one by one
I've followed to this resting place;
I've planted sister, sire, and son
My mother lies of queenly grace.IV
And others too so dear to me
They lie beneath the self same sod
The same their name, their ancestry.
In life and death the same their God.V
A Celtic cross high sentinel
of limestone grey holds o'er their clay
Redemption sign, they loved it well
Who here await the Judgement Day.(continues on next page)
