WRITTEN TO COMMEMORATE THE ANNIVER	A
SARY OF MY BROTHER TOM 'S BIRTHDAY	B
	-
O memory take my hand to day	B
And lead me thro' the darkened bridge	C
Washed by the wild Atlantic spray	B
And spanning many a wind swept ridge	C
Of sorrow grief of love and joy	D
Of youthful hopes and manly fears	E
O let me cross the bridge of years	E
And see myself again a boy	D
	-
The shadows pass I see the light	F
O morning light how clear and strong	G
My native skies are smiling bright	F
No more I grope my way along	G
It comes the murmur of the tide	H
Upon my ear I hear the cry	A
Of wandering sea birds as they fly	A
In trooping squadrons far and near	A
	-
The breeze that blows o'er Mullaghmore	A
I feel against my boyish cheek	I
The white walled huts that strew the shore	A
From Castlegal to old Belleek	I
The fisher folk of Donegal	A
Kindly of heart and strong of arm	J
Who plough the ocean's treacherous farm	J
How plainly I behold them all	A
	-
The thrush's song the blackbird's note	K
The wren within the hawthorn hedge	L
The robin 's swelling vibrant throat	K
The leveret crouching in the sedge	L
In those dear days ah what was school	A
When Nature made our pulses thrill	A
The lessons we remember still	A
Were learnt at Nature's own footstool	A
	-
'The hounds are out the beagles chase	M
Along the slopes of Tawley 's plain '	-
I rise and follow in the race	M
Till fox or hare or both are slain	N
With heart ablaze I loose the reins	O
Of all my childish fierce desire	A
My faith 't is Ireland plants the fire	A
And iron in her children's veins	O
	-
The mountain linnet whistles sweet	P
Among the gorse of summer time	Q
As up the hill with eager feet	P
The sun of morning sees me climb	Q
Until at last I sink to rest	R
Where heatherbells swing to the tune	S
That Benbo breezes softly croon	S
A tired child on the mother's breast	R
	-
And now in wisdom's riper years	E
Ah wisdom what a price we pay	B
Of sorrow grief of smiles and tears	T
Before we reach that wiser day	B
We meet to greet in joy and mirth	U
The white haired parent of us all	A
Our childhood's memories to recall	A
And bless the land that gave us birth	U
