  1. (continued from previous page)
    made mound
    Where James from life troubles cares
    and woes an early grave had found
    We'll always miss his smiling face as round the fires we meet.
    For no one can ever take his place on yonder empty seat
    But as the stories with new vim and jolly jokes go round
    I'll always think of James McGlynn in death's cold slumber bound.
