The kneIl of the irish Joke.

Wherever the breezes carry
The language that Shakespeare spoke.
The chambers of progress echo
The knell Of the Irish joke.
Wherever the sun Is vying
With the warmth of the Celtic soul.
sErom the belfres of truth, the dirges
For scorn and for falsehood roll.
In land that is strange in its humor,
Ever comic itself In Its mirth,
The jibe at the conquered and friendless,
And the rough burlesque had their
birth,
Like the plague that journeys In vessels,
This tasteless derlsion spread,
And the scorn Of a realm then building
Was heaped on the builders head.
But the shackles on Celtic effort,
The walls by the tyrant laid,
After ages, at length lie shattered
On the highways a new age made.
In the regions whose name should be
Future"
The dawn of new day broke.
AS a mist from our race II is rolling
The curse OF the Irish Joke.
