  1. A Song (continued)

    Oh Mary this Gowran's a wonderful sight

    (continued from previous page)
    looking for rabbits all day.
    But the rain had the drowned and frightened away.
    At the tennis match to the tale was the same.
    There was Rudkins and Carrol deprived of a game.
    He had marked the point carefully just before tea.
    But the pourings of Gowran swept down to the sea.
