    my heart now sinking wearily.
    Beneath misfortunes load
    Would bound it again in youthful love
    In dear old Galway Road.
    The author of this poem was Dr. Huban who was a great ballad composer and an Irish patriot and fought in '98 only to be transported to the island of Columbia where he composed this song.
