- (continued from previous page)Memiry retains those pleasant strains
Of the pattern of the Dinan.V
And now we see the joyous throng
With beaming joyful faces.
The boys with steps so light and free
Lead colleens to their places.
The music starts and off the go.
Their feet keep merrily rhyming.

With feathers bright and pretty

Sheds forth a lustrous light
Ere we depart with sighin heart
From scene so happy bright(continues on next page)
