    V11.
    I now must stop my wandering pen,
    As the ship at anchor lies,
    To plough the broad Atlantic wave,
    To Columbia of the free:
    When I think upon my native land,
    And none to it can compare.
    So adieu to all for evermore,
    And to the nun of sweet Kenmare.
    Transcribed by a member of our volunteer transcription project.
