    Anagore
    I wish my legs would be themselfes again.
    And not to wobble as they do.
    When I walk out and in.
    I'd cast aside my walking stick.
    And soon be back once more.
    To that little cot in the Co. Cork
    In the valley of Anagore.

    It is not that I turn my back.
    To Boston town at all.
    Though I have lived nigh fifty years
    Not far from Fannie's Hall.
    And there's a hunger my heart.
