  1. (continued from previous page)
    my youthful emotion.
    As I dream, I collect all my happiness of yore.
    Then Id love to go back to that grand spot in Ireland.
    To roam round that beautiful Abbey once more.
    Now I dream, I am roaming alone in that valley.
    That pretty spot in ireland
    I think I can see.
    But as I awaken my dreams are forsaken in that grand home in Banada.
    That was heaven to me
