    He set himself to save his net.
    But it was all in vain.
    They made rail-roads through the backlines.
    The green flag went up again.

  2. A Young Man's Farewell to his Home

    Share Share Post
    Farewell my birthplace Graniera,
    Farewell to thee for a while.
    I shall come back to see thee hereafter.
    And the ladies upon me will smile.
    My father's advice it grieved me, and
    Sometimes gave me a shock.
    When I ran away from my schooldays
    And became a slave in Glenough.
    I sprang not from Luther or Cromwell
    I am one of the good shepherd flock
    I adore at Rossmore every Sunday
    In that Church which is built on a rock
