* (From Moore’s Irish Melodies.)
. Oh, Atanmore, lov'd Arranmore,

Twan lered young and fn
Fall many a path I've tried since then,
rough pleasure’e flowery maze,
But ne'er could find the bse ‘again,
I felt in those sweet day:
"How blithe upon thy breezy cliffs
At sunny morn I've stood,
With heart as bounding a He skiff
That ‘lanced along thy
when the western y wave sew bright
With daylight's
Have sought that | Eien | in ie The,
Which dreaming poets si
That Eden where the _{mumortal brave
Dwell in a Jand s
Whore lower beyon! the shining wave,

Ah! dream too full of sadd'ning truth |
jose mansions o'er the main
» Are like the hopes I built in youth—
As sunny and as vain.

of Galway), are still persuated, that on 2 clear day, they
