    Though years are past and gone
    But yet they are dear in memory.
    Though years are gone I'll think upon.
    Those good old days of yore
    When I was king upon the wing.
    Away back in Ballinamore.
    XII
    I long to see the old cot,
    For nowhere can I find,
    In all this earth, another spot,
    So hallowed in my mind.
    I long to see the scenery
    Where Glosh does gently flow,
    By Tubman's Fort where I did sport
    With comrades long ago.
