- (When) Fond memory brings before my mind
The names of writers grand,
Who are scattered o'er the world wide
On many a far off stand.
The gifted scribes of this dear Isle,
Who songlets sweet do write,
Will soon be known from Pole to Pole
When all the Bards unite.We've Henry Frain, beyond the main,
A noted Irish bard
And Frank Kenny a journalist,
Who hits the tyrants hard,
James Rice and Ward we can't forget,
Two writers very bright,
With pleasure we will read their lays
When all the bards write.
Our friends, Divine and Flanagan
Will help us on our way,
With Mulhern John, famed son of song
And Thompson young and gay,
The gifted Near's I am sure,
Will lend a helping hand
To free their down-trodden country,
Our dear and hapless land(continues on next page)
