- (continued from previous page)When health and youth conveyed me
Through sloping groves of vernal pine
Where love, fond love, delayed me.
With heart elate I roamed the plain
Where wood and glade were pleasing
Affection led me to my Jane
O'er hills where herds were grazing. But frowning fate soon changed the scene
And all those pleasures faded
Tormenting care with galling spleen
My mental peace invaded.
The sun for me now shines in vain
Dejection is prevailing
Yet, 'tis unmanly to complain
When plans are unavailing. '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(continues on next page)- Collector
