- (continued from previous page)Ill be far on sea
Now once my boys I say goodby to friends and comrades gay
In hopes through time to meet again though gladly would I stay
To tread the dear old scenes again that must for ever reign
Supreme in every Irish heart far from their native plain
When I return home again old joys we will renew
We will dance and sing the live long day round Melvins waters blue.Author:- Miss Connolly N.T., Edenville N.S., Kinlough. (age not known). She wrote the above poem of farewell before her departure to America.- Collector
