“The following lines were composed by Thomas B. Kickham.”
(continued from previous page)Her golden hair I've intertwined
With C. J. Kickham's light brown hair
Now both are in my heart enshrined
The silver brown, the golden fair.
One has been clipped from Erin's daughter
The other from her martyred son
Vainly I wooed and vainly sought her
Would he have lived, would I have won.But - there lurks one hope -
To see Ireland's harp without a crown
And that the three shall form a wreath
The harp, the golden fair and silver brown.
