- (continued from previous page)Tá mo mhuinntir dhá thrialladh liom
Go gcaithfidh mé gluaiseacht go Newfoundland
Nar níl mé ollgach ar múint ná bhualadh
Ar obair tuaidhe na sgoilte crann
Dá dtagfad gaoth mhór o dhead i mo theach a mhúdach
Ní leigfead an fhuacht dom cuirfidh ón splainnt
Agus dá mbeadh teach síbín ag bun na cruaiche
Sneachta sguabach ná thar no ndon.
- There was a school in a bog up Timicat side. It was a little cabin - Foxe's father went to school there. If you were getting poor long ago you could start a school on your own. They used to have Spelling books and they got on well.
Each scholar would hand a penny to the teacher every Monday morning.The last ays in March and 1st April these are the days that skinned the old cow. She died when the other three days were up. - Informant
