    (continued from previous page)
    Were forced to go with broken heart,
    From the Glen of Aherlow.
    111.
    For six long months in search of work,
    I wandered far and far, near,
    I went then to the poor- house.
    To see my brother dear,
    The news I heard it broke my heart,
    But still in all my woe,
    I blessed the friends that made her grave,
    In the Glen of Aherlow.
