THE MEMORY OF ERIN:
•YLIIIGAN SUNG 6Ull ST. ►ATRICK'S DAT.

Fain. tho' list, still dear to all,
\l-ho once in childhood brvath'd thy air
We seek not nnw to mourn thy fall,
But bless thee, and the friends still there
There is, an thy unhappy fate,
Some spell, which strongly draws to thcc
The love of all—save those who hate
Illisteer is virtuous, brave, and free.

We know not if thy doom is cast,
frer faded hopes and chains, to weep ;
If smiles and frowna have power at last,
To lull all tomer thoughts to sleep.
We ask not now--our home is here—
Land of our choice, one love. our pride;
Where we may beast, through :tort Ws tear.
flow Lrin's sons have lived and died.

Tho' we are wanderers in thy sight,
And bound tlsershrre by sacred ties;
If Freedom guide our steps, then Night
Is holy even in honour s eyrs.
And still we hail with joy the day,
When old affections fly to meet
Old scenes, old friends, now far away,.
But once enjoyed, foe ever sweet.
