  1. Song about Claremorris (continued)

    “I oft feel sad and lone and cold”

    (continued from previous page)
    My aching heart doth still fly o'er
    To sweet Claremorris Town.
    This is in truth a lovely sphere,
    A Heaven-favored clime;
    Here Nature smiles the whole long year-
    'Tis summer all the time,
    With spreading palms and pine trees tall,
    And grape-vines drooping down.
    But gladly would I give them all
    For you Claremorris Town.
    I got this poetry from the nun in charge of the sixth class.
    Transcribed by a member of our volunteer transcription project.
