The Lament of the Irish Emigrant, pourtrayine
the feelings of an Irish peasant previous to his lea
wing home calling mp the scenes of his youth un
der the painful reflection of having buried his wifi
and child, and what his feelings will be in America
Written by the Hon. Mrs. Price Blackwood.
I'm sitting on the stile, Mary,
Where we sat side by side.
On bright May morning long ago,
When first you were my bride;
The com was springng fresh and green,
And the lark sang loud and high,
And the red was on thy lip, Mary,
And the love light in your eyes.
The place is little changed, Mary;
The day as bright as then,
The lark's loud song is in my ear,
And the corn is green again
Blu; miss the soft clasp of your hand,
And YOUR breath warm on my cheek,
And still keep list'ning for the words
You never more may speak.
'Tis but step down yonder lane,
And the little church stands near
The church where we were wed. Mary,
see the splre from here;
But the graveyard lies between, Mary.
And my step might break your rest,
For I've laid you, darling, down to sleep,
With your baby Oh your breast.
I'm very lone now, Mary,
For the poor make no new friends;
But oh! they iovc thee better far.
The iew5own father sends
And you were all had, Mary
My blessing and my pride;
There's nothing left to care for now,
Since my poor Mary died
I'm bidding you long farewell,
My Mary, kind and true
Bat I'll not forget YOU darling,
In the land I'm going to;
They say there's bread and work for all,
And the sun shines always there;
But I'll not forget old Ireland,
Were it fifty times as fair!
And often in those grand old woods
III sit and shut my eyes,
And my heart will travel back again
70 the place where Mary lies;
And III think see the little stile
Where we sat side by side,
And the springing corn and the bright Ma
morn,
When first you were my bride!
