“Fare well to sweet Clonshivena i now bid you adieu”
(continued from previous page)old paddys land.

Then where are all those people now it is a mystery to know. Some of them left their own dear home to a foreign land did go.
More of them mingled with the death.
I pray God may rest their soul.
A few of them are yet alive their familys to console.

What I have said about my native place
I am sure I am not ashamed.
If I could only add a few words more to them it was well due.
To all my dear old neigbours now once more I bid adieu.
