A Song (continued)
“Goodbye, goodbye, my dear old friends”
(continued from previous page)Where are my friends that
in Dervin resided,
Where the fat grazing cattle
are now to be seen,
They all have retired -
their fate is decided,
And some sleep at home in
their cold graves so green.Farewell Bunnavilla ! thy dark
looking waters
The steep frowning hills
shall behold me no more.
I'll fly to the land of the fair
rosy daughters
That is watching and praying
for Erin's green shore.(continues on next page)
