happy? – Nov 17 ('Songs of the People')

From: Abby Sale

Sam Henry's first Songs of the People newspaper column was printed in the Northern Constitution,
Coleraine, Northern Ireland on 11/17/1923. It continued until 1939.


          It's in my native country, old Ireland, I do dwell,
          Some days I spent in pleasure, far more than tongue can tell,
          Till fate, that fickle mystery, my course pursued me still,
          Which parted me from sweet Dunmull, that beautiful verdant hill.
