Song about Claremorris
“I oft feel sad and lone and cold”
I oft feel sad and lone and cold
How in the Golden West.
When I recall the times of old,
And fond hearts laid to rest;
The gladsome village crowd at 'een.
The stars a-peeping down.
And all the meadows robed in green
Around Claremorris Town.And many times I seem to gaze
On that dear place again,
As through Time's dim and misty maze
Appear each street and land;
The placid lake whose sparkling wave

And winds beside the haunted cave
Outside Claremorris Town.In dreams I hear the thrushes sing,
Though far, so far away,(continues on next page)
