A Wall FOR IRELAND.
BY DENIS FLORENCE MCCARTHY.

Thirty three years ago, when thousands Of men.
women and children perished for want OF food in
pictured the awful occurrence in the following
poem. How appropriately it applies at the pres
ent time.l
They are dying! they are dying! where the golden
corn is growing;
They are dying they are dying where the crowd
ed herds are lowing;
They are gasping for existence where the streams
OF life are flowing
And they perish Of the plague where the breeze oi
health is flowing.
God ofjusticc! God OF power!
DO we dream? Can 1t be,
In this land, at this hour;
with the blossom on the tree,
In the gladsomc month Of May,
When the young lambs play,
When Nature looks around
On her waking children now,
The seed within the ground,
The buds upon the bough2
Is it right, is it fair,
That we perish of despair
In this land on this soil,
Where our destiny is set,
Where we cultured with our toll
And watered with our sweat2
We have ploughed, we have sown,
But the crop was not our own;
We have reaped but harIy hands
Swept the harvest from our lands
We are perIshing for food,
When 10 in plying mood,
Our kindly rulers gave
The fat fluid to the slave.
While our corn filled the manger
OF the war-horse OF the stranger.
God OF mercy! must this last.
Is this land pre-ordained,
For the present and the past
And the future to be chained
To be rayaged to be drained,
To be robbed TO be spoiled,
To be hushed, to be whipped.
Its soaring pinions clipped,
And its every effort foiled?
Do our numbers multiply
But to perish and 20 die
Is this all our destiny below,
That our bodies when they rot,
May fertilizc the spot
Where the harvests Of the stranger grow :
Ifthis be indeed our fate.
Far far. better now. though late,
That we seek some other land and try some otho
zone
The coldest, bleakest shore
VIII surely yield US more
Than the storehouse OF the stranger that We dar
not call our own.
