Her lover's wreck'd bark 'neath the deep is abiding, And, shroudless, his form on the waters doth lie! Long nights did she mourn to the loudraving billow, And watch the pale light from her lamp faintly burn; And now, in despair, oft doth start from her pillow, And murmur," Dear Dermot, return soon to me, The heart of thy Norah is breaking for thee!" BE DAYS OF DRINKING WINE FORGOT BE days of drinking wine forget, We all have quaff'd to days long past But let us from our memories cast Those customs of " lang syne." Bad customs of lang syne, my friend, Bad customs of lang syne, Our temperance age must blot the page, Of customs of lang syne We all can meet as friends should meet, We all together dine, Our bev'rage quaff from fountains sweet, And ne'er regret the wine. A temperance shrine, my friend, my friend, We're pledged at her fair shrine ; And hold her cause above all laws, Or customs of lang syne.

Hurrah for the bonnets of blue, Hurrah for the bonnets of blue, Its guid to be wise, to be honest and true, And bide by the bonnets of blue. MAID OF LLANWELLYN.

The farmer rides proudly to market and fair, And the clerk at the tavern still claims the great chair; But of all our proud fellows the proudest I'll be, While the maid of Llanwellyn smiles sweetly on me.
