    Had sorrows had full share:
    We take what comes from Gods right hand
    And pray for strength to bear.
    Let none refuse to see the sun
    That beams in summer time,
    Because, through winter's weary
    months,
    His rays but rarely shine.
    To night we sing, or laugh, or dance,
    As though we ne'er knew woe,
    With hearts as happy and as light
    As twenty years ago!
    Written by a local composer
    (Mrs H Noonan,
    Cloneen)

    Age 71 years
    Transcribed by a member of our volunteer transcription project.
