I wept in my sleep ; but ere morning to cheer me Came a breeze from the woodland, a song from the bird. O eons of my heart I the long-haii*'d the strong- handed ! Tour phantoms rush by me with war-cry and wail : — Ye too for your Faith and your Country late banded, My sons by adoption, mail'd knights of the Pale! n. Is there sorrow, O ye that pass by, likef my sorow ? Of the kings I brought forth there remaineth not one ! 162 INISFAIL. Each day is dishonour'd ; disastrous each morrow : — In the... yew-wood I couch till the day-light is done. At midnight I lean from the cliff o'er the waters, And hear, as the thunder comes up from the sea, Your moanings, my sons, and your wailings, my daughters :* With the sea-dirge they mix not : Ihey clamour to me! THE IRISH SLAVE IN BARBADOES. BESIDE our shieling spread an oak : Close by, a beech, its brother : Between them rose the pale blue smoke They mingled each with other. * At the end of the Cromwellian war, the population of Ireland was reduced from more than 1, 400, 000 to 800, 000.
