The Irish Convicts Return

 Ye mountains and glens of Old Ireland,
I've returned home to ye again;
During my absence from ye
My heart always felt great pain. 

Oh, how I long'd to see you dear Nora,
And the old folks at home;
And the beautiful Lakes o' Killarney,
Where we oft together did roam. 

Ye beautiful Lakes of Killarney,
Ye are welcome to me again;
I will now reform my character,
And from all bad company refrain. 

Oh, how I have long'd to see my old father
And my mother dearer than all;
And my favourite dog Charlie
That wont to come at my call. 

Ye green hills and lakes of Old Ireland,
Ye are dearer than life unto me;
Many sleepless nights I have had
Since my banishment from thee. 

But to-night I will see the old folks
And my dear Nora too ...
And she and I will get married,
And I'm sure we will never rue. 

And we may have plenty of children,
And for them I will work like a man.
And I hope Nora and I will live happy,
And do the best we can. 

For my own part, I will never grumble,
But try and be content ...
And walk in the paths of virtue,
And remember my banishment. 

And at night at the fireside with Nora,
I will tell her of my limbs being bound,
And all my great hardships endured,
And how I was lash'd like a hound. 

And when my story is ended,
Nora will sympathise with her tears,
Which will help to drown my sorrow,
And help me through coming years.

Pity

 THE TWINKLING mists of green and gold
Afloat in the abyss of air,
From out the window high and old
 We watched together there.


The monstrous fabric of the town
Lay black below; the cries of pain
Came to our ears from up and down
 The dimly-lighted lane.


Olive, your eyes were turned to me,
Seeking a soul to sympathise:
I wondered what that glow might be,
 Olive, within your eyes.


Into your trembling words there passed
The sorrow that was sighed through you:
Pity, a breath from out the vast,
 From unknown hollows blew.
