- (continued from previous page)Tormenting care with galling spleen
My mental place invaded.
The sun for me now shines in vain,
Dejection is prevailing.
Yet 'tis unmanly to complain
When plans are inavailing.'Tis true I loved my country dear,
Oppression base I hated,
The voice of freedom still I hear
Although I'm isolated.
Oh, Erin, may your sons be free
And tyranny suspended,
High and exalted may you be
When my career is ended.And now I'll bid a long farewell
To every glade and fountain,
To every lonely silent dell,
To every vale and mountain.
To those green paths and purling streams,
Bright scenes of my first rambles,
Where warbling birds their joy proclaims
Amid green leaves and brambles."
