- (continued from previous page)I've hunted for prosperity but still it has eluded me
For Black misfortune followed me no matter where I'd roam
And often in my anguish I've cursed the fate that parted me
From the comrades of my boyhood and my own dear Irish homeSweet boyish recollections you shall ever fondly bind me
To the friends I left behind me far over the raging sea
And thee dear Kilnmartyra where one time I resided
But now I am divided by the ocean wide from theeNow age is overtaking me youth is fast forsaking me
And the friends that once delighted me perhaps I'll see no more
But till my days are over and death ahs come and taken me
I fondly will remember thee (I) dear land that that I adore.(continues on next page)- Collector
