Side 99 - When will heaven, its sweet bell ringing, Call my spirit from this stormy world? Sadly, oh Moyle, to thy winter-wave weeping, Fate bids me languish long ages away; Yet still in her darkness doth Erin lie sleeping, Still doth the pure light its dawning delay.

Side 116 - Moyle, to thy winter-wave weeping, Fate bids me languish long ages away ; Yet still in her darkness doth Erin lie sleeping, Still doth the pure light its dawning delay. When will that day-star, mildly springing, Warm our isle with peace and love ? When will heaven, its sweet bell ringing, Call my spirit to the fields above ? COME, SEND ROUND THE WINE.
Side 215 - " Well ? " said Tibbot, looking over his shoulder. " I have some news, plase your honor." The brow of Mr. O'Leary relaxed. " Well," said he, "what is it ? " " I was comin' through a part o' the County Tipperary the other day, and passing near the foot o' the Galteigh mountains, what should I see only a power o' people with horses and tacklin' an
Side 213 - How long is it since you left it ? " " Six years." " And YOU are now going back ? " " I am." " I suppose you had a great many strange adventures during your absence from home ?
