    XI
    A rippling brook flow gently by
    Midst Anagh's banks it greets Awbeg
    And message bears past Cahir high
    To Imphrieks aisle and Ballybeg.
    XII
    The songbirds too, of cheerful note
    The blackbirds, throstles linger here;
    While o'er the marsh and moor remote
    The wild fowl fly full fast, not near.
    XIII
    But nearer, nearer, comes the day
    When to my loved ones I must go.
    My end be theirs, their path my way
    To reach the heaven of bliss also.
    XIV
    Yes we shall meet and part no more
    But joyful sing the live-long day
    The eternal day! What splendid [?]!
    The former things have passed away.
    XV
    While thus I muse on me and mine
    Those cherished ones to my heart near
    Bright fancy wings me to Cooline
    My place of Resurrection dear.
