Like a bad bird in a dream.”

Betweeen his two eternities,
That of race and that of soul,
And ancient Ireland knew it all.
Whether man die in his bed
Or the rifle knocks him dead,”

“O, if you raise this house against this house
It will the woefullest division prove
That ever fell upon this cursed earth.”
