Poetry.

from Harper's Magazine.
Paddy's Version Of sExcelsiOr.'
Twas growing dark so terrible fasht
Whin through the town up the mountains there
passed
A broth of boy, to his neck in the shnow,
As he walked, his shillalah he swung to and
Saying, It's up till the top Pm bound for to go,
Bejabers
He looked mortal sad, and his eye was as
bright
AS fire Of turf on cowld WHITTIER night,
And dvll a word that he said could we tell
AS he opened his mouth and let out a yell,
It's up to the top of the mountain I'll go,
Unless covered up with this bothersome shnow,
Be jabers
Though the windows he saw, as he Travelled
along
The light of the candles and fires SO warm;
But a big chunk of ice hung over his head,
Wild Schniyel and groan, by St. Patrick ! he
said,
It's up to the very tip top will rush.
And then if it falls it's not meself it ill crush,
Bejabers
Whist bit said an ovid man, whose head was
as white
AS the shnow that fell down on that miserable
night;
Shure yen fall in the wather, me bit of lad,
For the night is so dark and the walkin' is bad,
Bedad he'd not lisht to a word that was said,
Bnt he'd 60 till the top if he whit On his head
Be jabers
A bright buxom young girl, such as like to be
kissed,
Axed him wouldn't he sthop, and how could he
resist?
So, swapping his fingers and winking his eye,
While smiling upon her, he made this reply
Faith meant to kape on till got to the top:
But as yer swate self has axed me may as well
shop,
Be jabers
He sthopped all night and he sthopped all day,
And ye mustn't be axing when he did go away /;
Fur wouldn't he be bas1ely gosson
To be LAWN his darlint in the shwate honey
moon?
Whin the ovid man has paraties enough and TO
spare
Shure he mi ght as well SHAY if he's comfortable
there,
Be jabers.
