Quotes
Once the Bishop looked grave at your jest,Till this remark set him off wid the rest:"Is it lave gaietyAll to the laity?Cannot the clargy be Irishmen too?"
Song, "Father O'Flynn".
The little red lark, like a rosy sparkOf song, to his sun-burst flies;But till you are risen, earth is a prison,Full of my captive sighs.
Song, "The Little Red Lark".
