    (continued from previous page)
    As the ship's seceding from the shore
    I cast one look behind
    Behold, she stands upon a cliff
    That maiden pure and kind
    A kerchief in her hand she waves
    As she bids adieu to me
    Oh! woe the day I was forced away
    From you dear Galbally.
