   IV
   Does your brother mitch from the model,
   Do the tinkers fight in Poulslough,
   Do the feeble still venture to toddle,
   To the quay and sit down on a balk,
   Or go sun their old-selves in the evening.
   With the crows cawing loud on the trees,
   That’s the spot I think out of Heaven,
   Where a heart wearied out would find ease.
   V
   Does it drizzle five days out of six there,
   Or does it come down in a lump,
   Here we look upon rain as elixir,
   We’re as dry as the Clerihan pump.
   Do the boats still put into the Grotto,
   When a bather ahead is espied,
   And are voices in the voice they call Sotto
   Breathed tenderly while you’re inside.
   VI
   Ah! Mary I’ve thousands of queries
   To ask you about the old town.
   But the last one I’ll mention just here is
   One likely to call up a frown.
   If you’ll peep under memory’s curtain,
   You’ll find that you’ve answered before.
   But, Mary, I want to make certain,
   Do you love me as well as of yore.
