Farewell to sootdrop and rain
Farewell to the smoke and the cobwebs
That frequently pierced through my brain.

From Cork to the County Tyrone
Wee possessed of a cottage and acre
They freely might call them their own.

Not to talk of the acre at all
Each heart would resound with carouses
As they guard off each wintry squall.(continues on next page)- Collector
