    ‘Mid sadness of fond recollections tonight
    A yearning possesses my soul
    To end the hard struggle and thirty years’ fight
    For Fame on Los Angeles roll.
    No longer I’ll pine for my loved native isle,
    To-morrow I’ll leave here and go
    To Ireland - my sireland - and heaven will smile
    On Louisburgh in County Mayo
