- (continued from previous page)iv
The village school-house on the hill doth still appear in view
As bright and beautiful, as when I bid my last adieu,
Those homeful scenes are passed and gone, alas! to come no more
Yet recollection brings me back to Bannows Lonely shore.v
When on my pillow I recline ina foreign land do rest
The thoughts of Bannow's lonely banks still throbs within my breast
When silent sleep steals o'er my brow then fondly I explore
The shaggy rocks that still abound sweet Bannows lonely shore
vi
Now to conclude and finish up I will lay by my pen,
May Heaven's beams shine down on those, who on those banks do dwell
May happiness favour reign till time shall be no more,
As when first I saw the breath of life on Bannow's lonely shore
