  1. The Stream Beneath the Hill

    Share Share Post
    I stand in fancy once again beside a rippling stream
    With my happy carefree school mates
    Jack Martin and Tom Lane
    The banks with starlike primroses was prettily bedecked
    The violets in profusion grew
    For it was our Lady's month
    II
    The tiny waves they rippled on and
    childhood days flew by
    And I attaining manhood's years
    Bade my dear old home good bye
    Long years have passed since those dear days my limbs are feeble my hair is grey
    My thoughts of Ireland so far away
    III
    O where are the friends with whom I played
    that day so long ago
    Jack Martin sleeps beneath the clay
