  1. The Emigrant's Farewell to Carrig and Corcamore (continued)

    (continued from previous page)
    Dim visions of Shannon's bright beauties shall start,
    And if ever a fond mingled sadness steals o'er me
    Or fortune should frown till my young heart grow sore,
    I'll think of my children 'mid valley and wildwood,
    And bless verdant Carrig and Sweet Corkamore.
    IV
    Then farewell to your bowers happy scenes of my childhood,
    The land of the stranger must now be my home,
    Adieu! to those loved haunts in valley and wild wood,
    Where oft my young footsteps did wantonly roam.
    And when neath the sod of the stranger I'm sleeping,
    Perhaps from dear Erin some friends may sail o'er,
    Who'd plant o'er my grave amid sighing and weeping
    A Shamrock from Carrig or Sweet Corcamore.
