I'm very lonely now, Mary,
For the poor make no new friends;
But oh they love the better still
The few our Father sends!

I'm bidding you a long farewell,
My Mary, kind and true,
But I'll not forget you, darling,
In the land I'm going to.
They say there's bread and work for all,
And the sun shines always there;
But I'll not forget old Ireland,
Were it fifty times as fair.

I'm sitting on the stile, Mary,
Where we sat side by side.

Is the children's birthplace taken now within the new park wall?
