THOUGHTS ON INNIsFAlL.

THOUGHTS ON INNIsFAlL.
For the sorrow of Innisfail sleepless
lie,
When think of the morrow l hope
lessly sigh;
am heart-sick at thought of the races
of old,
Ger whose plains the red tide of in.
vasion hath rolled.
But, oh! Erin, my hearts love, why
will you not learn
To trust only the old blood Milesian
and stern!
For, alas! the fierce Sasenach boar
hath ripped deep,
And drained dry the full veins your
soft bosom did keep.
See, each band of invaders that come
through the tide,
To this land that was once ruled with
glory and pride,
Sets it's rude chiefs on high in the
halls of our great
land in state!
In the fields of our race foreign weeds
are upreared,
And the soil they grow rich in nc
longer is feared!
The mighty O'Cavanagh chiefs are de-
parted;
Dalcassian, Eugenian, are weak and
cold-hearted.
The O'Mores and O'Connors no longer
are bold,
Though like thunder their cry in the
fierce fights of old
Mighty reapers in fields that were
ripened in wrath
Till they turned to the faithless nc
foe shut their path.
Fitzgeralds of Arney! would We. yet
trod the field,
That. the old crom aboo through our
valleys yet pealed,
BY your rivers not long would the
waster be found
Soon his cries and lamentings would
echo around!
But oh! it were better, far better
good God!
That the last few were gathered and
flying abroad
Der the wild waves of Cleena, than
thus trampled sore
1t the race and the island you, favor
no more.

A PLACE IN THY MEMORY.
DEAREST.

DEAREST.
A place in thy memory, dearest,
Is all that claim,
To pause and look back when thm]
nearest
The sound Of my name.
Another may WOO thee, nearer,
Another may win and wear;
care not though he be dearer,
If l am remembered there.
Remember me-not as a lover
Whose hope was crossed,
Whose bosom can never recover
The light it hath lost.
AS the young bride remembers the
mother
She loves, though she never may
see,
AS a sister remembers a brother,
o dearest, remember me!
Could be thy true lover, dearest.
Could'st thou smile on me,
I would be the fondest and dearest,
That ever loved tte@s
But cloud on my pathway is gloom
ing
That never must burst upon thine;
And Heaven, that made thee. an
blooming,
Ne'er made thee, to withor m ,,,are.
Remember me then! Oh, remember,
My calm, light love;
Though bleak as the blasts of Novem-
Der
My life may nrove
That life will, though lonely, be sweet,
If its brightest enjoyment should be,
A smile and Kind word when we meet,
And place In thy memoRy.
