- (continued from previous page)With hope that ever soothes our sorrow.
The Lord, who sheltered yesterday.
Will He forsake His poor tomorrow.3The morning lights the eastern skies.
Gliding Athlacca's court of grandeur.
The poor man wakes - but where is he.
Who doomed the little hamlet yonder.
Go, seek him in his winding sheet.
Or mark his grave with yew or willow.
That very nights God's angel passed.
And smote him on his downy pillow.4In Dromin churchyard low he's laid
And scant the grounds that now
content him.
The wintry winds are whispering
through.
The mouldering halls the Lord hath
lent him.
But yet that humble shieling stands.
Beside the murmuring starry river.
O Donnels roof unruined still
The tyrants hearthstone still cold for
ever.Written by
Kathleen O'Regan.
