    (continued from previous page)
    No matter what the hour:
    These faithful few his blessing sought
    Thro' storm or shiloved ones leftne or shower.
    God called him to the sunny South,
    Far o'er the blue sea's foam;
    Kind thoughts will ever follow him
    From faithful friends at home.
    For well they know, the scenes may change,
    His thoughts will wander on
    Thro' memory's halls to loved ones left
    Neath sun-crown'd Slievenamon.
