- (continued from previous page)For the helpless ones athome;4/
Give word to my dear mother
Say we'll meet with God above;
And tell my little brothers I send them all my love;
May the angels ever guard them was their dying sister's prayer.
And enfolded in the letter was a braid of nut brown hair. 5/
Ah! cold and well nigh callous;
This weary heart has grown.
For thy hapless fate; dear Ireland
And for sorrows of my own.
Yet a tear my eye will moisten;
When by Anner's side I stray
For the lily of the mountain foot
That withered far away;- Collector
