Chief among the “blessed three.”

Charity.

On river and forest, o’er mountain and lea.

Come, wander with me.

A word in season spoken
May calm the troubled breast.

The bud is on the bough again,
The leaf is on the tree.

    I have heard the mavis singing
  Its love-song to the morn;
I ’ve seen the dew-drop clinging
  To the rose just newly born.

Mary of Argyle.

    We have lived and loved together
  Through many changing years;
We have shared each other’s gladness,
  And wept each other’s tears.

We have lived and loved together.

Helen Selina, Lady Dufferin Sheridan. (1807–1867)

Where we sat side by side.

    The corn was springing fresh and green,
  And the lark sang loud and high,
And the red was on your lip, Mary,
  And the love-light in your eye.

Lament of the Irish Emigrant.

    I’m very lonely now, Mary,
  For the poor make no new friends;
But oh they love the better still
  The few our Father sends!
