- (continued from previous page)That told the time each day
I hear the prayers I often heard
As twlight shades stole oer
My pals and I on bended knees
Upon that old school floor IV.
And I can see the master too
Now numbered with the dead
Near Cahir town he sleeps to-day
Within his cold clay bed.
May his soul with Angels blest
Repose for evermore
Is the daily prayer of one he taught
Inside that old school door. V.
Alas since then the tide of time
Has made a change on me
And now my heart's blood rushing tide.
Is not flowing half so free.
The weight of years is telling fast
On him who penned this lay.
Beneath dear Kerrys snow-clad
This bleak December day. VI.
While with God's oly aid I'll plough
Lifes storm ocean waves(continues on next page)
