   Educated in a National School, in his Native Parish in Co Roscommon, Emigrated to America and continued his studies for the Priesthood in St Joseph's Seminary Baltimore, M.d.
   year 1918.
   The evening sun cast forth the gleam
   That marks his parting, brightest beam,
   And grand are scenes where surges roar
   And thundering 'round along the shore,
   To echo in some neighb'ing cave
   Where winds in madness seem to rave;
   The heron sad, lone, awful, shrill,
   Darts to the brake, foresakes the hill.

   The mocking - bird, on tree-top high,
   Pours forth her strain to ev'ning sky;
   E'en tho' amid this Eden fair
   My restless heart is wand'ring, where
   The river sings and streams slow move,
   Where man alike and nature love _
   Where I would wander once again
   My dear Roscommon's distant plain.
