My dear friends, we have met in love to-night, In Columbia's tranquil shore,
Three thousand miles from green Erin's hills,
That I never shall see more,
The far dearest of these hills, than any other is to me,

To the thrush and black-bird sing,
For more sweeter notes the cuckoo calls off the holy tree,
It's there I often viewed the corn crops,
All blooming in their prime,
