  1. Here is a Poem by John Moran (continued)

    (continued from previous page)
    But still they are often beaten
    By the little mountain hare
    When the winter is gone
    and spring comes in
    You will hear it borne on the gale,
    The lovely sound of horn and hound
    Echoing through the vale
    The old man throws his crutch aside
    The old woman leaves her wheel
    And loudly cheers the huntsman
    As he dashes up the vale.
    When the day of sport is over
    And the night is coming on
    You will see them all returning home
    Just as the day is done
    They have the old man's blessing,
    he says it makes him young
    To enjoy the Old Age Pension
    For many a day to come.
