- (continued from previous page)Kings fall before His justice -dealing
hand,
And mighty nations topple in the dust
His word can make or end
A thousand worlds,
Humble obedience to His law is life
Rebellion - death.
For by His will nation's brutal
passions
Cause mankind to turn the earth
Into a slaughter house -
Stifling the air with polluted breath
Where virtue flies affrighted.
At the clang of strife,
And unrelenting war.
- Dermot O' HeaOch! Dermot's the boy that's well known
From the White Mountain down to the sea
There is none half so welcome as he.
For the life and the soul of a party
Is rollicking Dermot O'Hea.(continues on next page)
