- I dreamt a dram a pleasant dream, of Ireland's, birth right won,
Home-rule I've seen in College Green, and Erin's noble son,
I awoke in grief found no relief my spirits sadly fled,
For in Glasnevir cemetry he's numbered with the dead.

Oh Parnell dear what happened you, of death what [?] have you done?
You're gone from us in our utmost need, your equal we have none
Your life was sold for British gold, we're left to forego [/] prey,
We're sure to be in slavery and that for a longer day.

No more in No 15 your foes may laugh or sneer [?]
Such vile assasination, it haunts me like a spell
Your fair belied & crucified our darling chief Parnell
IV

To see your many services, it grieves me ten times more(continues on next page)- Collector
