    And once again I seem to see
    Dear Lough Ramors shore
    VII
    I start from out my thoughtful train
    I gaze around to find
    I tread once more a foreign shore
    Unlike that left behind
    VIII
    For here the stranger's voice I hear
    The City's din and stir
    But there the country is sweet and mils[?]
    At best St Elizabeths as it was in the days of yore.
