  How lonely now beside

  Lough Gurr. There's none

  to sing her praise.

  That old church yard cant

  claim you now. where

  you spent some glorious

  days. Your lonely grove

  is vacant there. How sad
  

  for those at home. A
  

  Western sky is oer you
  

  now. The last long mile
  

  has flown
  

  your life was short
  

  but happy in this fair
  

  land so true
  

   Right page 

  Yes we parted by the river
  

  on that bright Oct. night
  

  but still in dreams I see
  

  you there Where the same
  

  old moon shines bright
  

  The Efil tower is lighted now
  

  + I am across the sea
  

  The Seine rolls on but
  

  you are gone Marie of
  

  old Parie.
  

  Again if war clouds
  

  gather oer the same
  

  proud river bank, I
  

  doubt if e'er you will
  

  meet me there in the same
  

  old Kackie  khaki pants. They
  

  two have changed the
  

  that made you dear to me
  

  So to-night in dreams we
  

  live again
  

  Marie of Old Parie
