THE LAND OF HEART'S DESIRE.

Maire Bruin.
Both the tongue and face were strange.
Maurteen Bruin.
Some strangers came last week to Clover Hill;
She must be one of them.
Bridget Bruin.
I am afraid.
Maurteen Bruin.
The priest will keep all harm out of the house.
Father Hart.
The Cross will keep all harm out of the house
While it hangs there.
Maurteen Bruin.
Come, sit beside me, colleen,
And put away your dreams of discontent,
For I would have you light up my last days
Like a bright torch of pine, and when I die
I will make you the wealthiest hereabout;
For hid away where nobody can find
I have a stocking full of silver and gold.
