  1. (continued from previous page)
    With hope that ever soothes our sorrow.
    The Lord, who sheltered yesterday.
    Will He forsake His poor tomorrow.

    The morning lights the eastern skies.
    Gliding Athlacca's court of grandeur.
    The poor man wakes - but where is he.
    Who doomed the little hamlet yonder.
    Go, seek him in his winding sheet.
    Or mark his grave with yew or willow.
    That very nights God's angel passed.
    And smote him on his downy pillow.

    In Dromin churchyard low he's laid
    And scant the grounds that now
    content him.
    The wintry winds are whispering
    through.
    The mouldering halls the Lord hath
    lent him.
    But yet that humble shieling stands.
    Beside the murmuring starry river.
    O Donnels roof unruined still
    The tyrants hearthstone still cold for
    ever.
