  1. Farewell to Bannow (continued)

    (continued from previous page)
    But the beautiful star spangled banner
    Whose folds have so long sheltered me
    I neer can forget in a manner
    Dear Bannow forever and thee
    III
    I am sad when I yield to reflection
    The bright scenes of youth full in mind
    And fast flow the tears of affection
    For friends I'm leaving behind
    But memory will bring them around
    When I'm in the land of the free
    And brighter the ties that have bound
    My Dear Bannow my heart is with thee
    IV
    How off oer the fields at eves closing
    With boyhoods companions Ive strayed
    Content in its bosom reposing
    Our joys and our hearts neath the shade
    Sweet bliss ever come with the horror
    Then life its a pleasure to me
    And now I am leaving in sorrow
    My school mates Dear Bannow and Thee
