  1. A Song - Farewell to Boyle (continued)

    “Farewell to Boyle, to lakes, and all that span my native town,”

    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
