- (continued from previous page)Each lovely scene was quite serene
On Lough Rynn's Woody Shore.A gentle breeze passed thro' the trees,
That murmured clear a song
And the band did play a stirring lay
To cheer the passing throng
Amidst the scene, one of our boys
Sank, sank, to rise no more,
Which brought a gloom as from the tomb

It pierced my very core(continues on next page)- Collector
