- A New Year's Card - Same poetOh might I call fair Music's aid
To address thee lovely Maid.
What pleasure it would be
To sing in sweet and simple lays
The ever just deserving praise
My Beautiful, of thee.
Or, speak the love that fills my heart
Since first thou Fair One I caressed
And wished to call thee mine.
Yet distance cannot true love mar
For thee I toil in Mullingar
My heart is ever thine
No matter wherever I may be
My fondest thoughts still rest on thee
For thou dost hold my heart
Thro' weary lays each dreary day
Since I from Moate was borne away
And from thee there didst part
Though cruel fate divides us far
With thee in Moate I in Mullingar
Yet still I’ll ever be true.
With fondest love and best regards
To thee I send this New Year's Card
My own dear love Adiue! Adieu!!- Informant
