    his soul relate that one night as his father was returning from a Machine (a Threshing of Corn) on passing by the Hurling Field he saw the people playing in the field and heard the shouts.
    That dear old game once more they play in the light of the golden moon
    As they were wont to do in days of yore on Sunday afternoon.
