- (continued from previous page)Beside those ivied walls I'd pause
And long dead friends recall
Tis sacred soil a thousand years
Where light my footsteps fallCorolanty Cross I'd see again
The road from Ballincor
Perhaps some school day friends I'd meet
In old Shinrone once moreI'd see again the old Fair Green
The blacksmiths open door
Poor Neddy's hammer's silent now
No sparks fly o'er the floorThe angelus I'd hear at noon
Its message sweet to men
The alter bell would tell the world
That Christ was born againYet in my dreams sometimes it seems
I'm back in days of yore
Oh, Time to night turn in your flight
I'd see it all once moreFrom the castle hill I'd gaze my fill
And from its town height(continues on next page)- Collector
