             We wreathe the bowl to drink a gay good bye
             For tears would fall unbidden in the wine,
             And while reflected was the mournful eye,
             The sparkling surface e’en would cease to shine.
                   Then fare, fare well;
                     Once more, once more,
                   The ocean swell
                     Now hides my native shore.

              See where yon star its diamond light displays,
              Now seen, now hid behind the swelling sail,
              Hope rides in gladness on its streaming rays,
              And bids us on, and bribes the fav’ring gale.
                    Then hope we bend
                      In joy to thee,
                    And careless wend
                      Our way across the sea.

Only imagine yourself, says a writer in the Journal of Commerce, in a
little row-boat, passing around the northern coast of Ireland. In the
distance, you seem to look upon an immense castle, flanked by double
rows of cylindrical columns. It seems so fortress-like, this massive
structure rising from the depths of the sea, that you expect to find
guards and wardens, soldiery and arms; but as you approach nearer it
loses that castellated appearance, and gradually lessens in magnitude
until there remains
