A Song - Farewell to Boyle (continued)
“Farewell to Boyle, to lakes, and all that span my native town,”
(continued from previous page)Chapel Street
So speed me off to Assylinn, there, drops a farewell tear
Oe'r him who sleeps his last sweet sleep, my father fond and dear.
Farewell, farewell old Chapel, where first I knelt to pray
Where'er I'll be I'll pray for thee be my lot whate'er it may
When driven from my native town in foreign lands to toil
But in foreign lands with upraised hands I pray; success to Boyle- Collector
