Afar upon the placid blue great ships go sailing by
And near that shore in languid case the skiffs of pleasure lie
And youthful hearts in wanton glee are romping by that shore -

And Sligo in the distant haze looks charming in the view
And Rosses Point in summer time is gazed in bright array.
Is there a scene more fair than this in all the world to-day?(continues on next page)
