 ing OCT the weary sea, Como ye back to BalIyshannon, Katy,

 the frills around her face; She is smiling as Our Lady smiles
 above the Holy Child, And my heart runs forth to meet her
 OCT the waste of waters wild. Do you know our Ballyshannon. where
 the very winds are sweet with me the saltness of the sea foam and Do you know our mists that fold us in
 8 blanket soft and gray, Do you know our Ballyshannon in the
 red rose dawn of day? Then you see the little mother. just
 herself, so small and old. With a. look I'm sure would warm you
 were you shivering with the cold. whose work is never done. o. so ready with her laughter at the
 rise and set of sun. In the. great house where I'm serving
 folk are ever kind to he, But they do not guess my yearning for
 the cabin over sea. Wage | earn and wage I send her, yet
 l cannot longer bide I must seek my little mother, I must
 nestle at her side. She's just little mother in cabin
 far away; Since l kissed her in the gloaming 'tis
 forever and q day. In my dreams she's calling, calling. I'll go back to Ballyshannon, to my
 mother and my home" -Msrgaret F. Sangster, in Woman's Home Companion.
