Old partner of our youthful mirth Thy fruits are scattered o'er the earth And while they bloom scarce mellowed yet And though by time scarce mellowed yet The sun that warmed them soon must set The [?] thy beam is spent And when the final chord is rent Thou shalt not lack a monument departed A land mark of our early joys A tribute from the Kelly boys, To stand mid pride's m The mace While Alexander weeps While Alexander, who complained That no unconquered realms remained, Must dry his tears at thy command And bid the Thracian robber stand Mid pride's unmeaning marble toys A land mark of departed joys
