    But I have to seek the bathroom before I go to bed
    My day and night's work ended, I may go to bed and dream
    For the bathroom turned out to be a lively running stream.

  2. Letter to Parents

    Share Share Post
    (Written from Dublin)
    Its a glorious day in summer in 1842.
    Oh! father dear and mother fond I'm thinking now of you.
    I hope you're hale and hearty, and feel no ache or pain
    Since I bade good bye to all I loved in dear old Curkishbane.
    How is all the family and my dear sister one
    Not forgetting my brothers all, that's Hughie, James and John
    How is Daniel Hanlon, from my native Irish town
    And fearless brave Tom Dwyer, the scholar of renown
