One winters day, long--long ago,
When was Il little fellow,
A piper wandered to our door,
Grey-headed, blind and yellow
And Oh! how glad was my young heart,
Though earth and sky looked dresry-
To see the stranger and his dog
Poor .;Pinch' and Caoch O'Leary.
Andwhen he slowed away his 'bag,''
Cross-barred with green and yellow,
thought and seid: 'In Ireland's ground
There's not so fine fellow
And 1'incen Burk and Shane Mcgee,
Aud Ely, Kate anu Mary,
Rushed, in, with painting haste, to "see,
And welcome" Caoch O'Leary.

However years may vary;

Poor i,aoch ard Pinch slept well that night
And in the morning carly
Ha called me up to hear him play
's,Fhe wind that shakes the barley
And then he stroSed my fiaxen hair,
And cried: God mark my deary,'
And how he wept when he said Farewell,
And think Of Caoch O I.eary.'
And seasons came ana Went, and still
Ola CaUch was not forgotten,
Although Thought him dead and gone
And in the cold clay rotten.
And often when walked and danced
With Ely, Kate, and Mary.

And prayed for Caoch O'Leary.
We'll twenty summers had gone past.
Ant, June's red sun was sinking,

Of twenty sad things thinking.

And 'Pinc!l" is twice rs hairy
And ''rhin-spure' as when first saw
Himself and Caoci O'Leary.
t'Cod's blessing here the wanderer cried,
''Farfar be hels black viper;
Does any body hereabouts
Remember Capcll the Pipcr?''
With swelling heart yrasped his hand;

Converse with his far of neighbors
Drives the duh night hours along:
While his duties and his "oriers''
All the while his memory throng.
Though his eyelids droop ST midnight.
Fain TO close themselves in sleep,
Not for him the bliss OF slumber;
lie must still his vigils keep.

Tells It's tales of Joy or woe;

And how hearts with rapture glow;
