    Training Hall
    Air: The Harp.
    Composed by Den Kilmartin
    Ballylanders, Co.Limerick.
    I
    I dreamt I paced the Training Halls
    In Dublin City Fair
    And all seemed changed with those walls
    So coldly changed and drear.
    I sought in vain the noble few,
    whom I before had known
    But gloomy strangers filled their place
    And I was quite alone.
    II
    I wept in thought, the loved and true
    That cheered me on of yore
    Methought I asked if any knew
    The few I prized the more.
    But no one knew or cared to know,
    They coldly answered nay,
    I hung my head in silent woe
    And wailed that hapless day.
