  1. I
    When on board of the steamship
    Florida ten thousand miles at sea
    In dreams my thoughts often go back to the rocks of Carrickatee
    For every being loves the land in where he was a child
    The very savage loves the woods, the plains and prairie wild.
    II
    Of many places I could speak but I have not space just now
    But there is none more worthy of a not than the gunroom and fear breige
    Of friends I could not mention so numerous are they
    And some I never will forget until I return to clay.
    III
    But one there was amongst them he fain would prove unkind.
