[00:25.54]	It is the month of September
[00:28.42]	in the year 1866
[00:30.71]	an english gentleman Edwin war
[00:33.25]	who was traveling through the north of Ireland
[00:35.49]	road home to his family
[00:43.10]	I was at the Baleny station the other day
[00:45.85]	when I saw a distressing scene
[00:48.25]	a company of start young peasants were leaving by the train for Londonderry
[00:52.62]	from where they were to take shipping for America
[00:56.61]	The whole platform was crowded with their friends and relatives
[01:00.11]	all simple rustic folk
[01:02.15]	Form hooray headed age leaning upon the staff
[01:05.09]	to the unconscious infant crowing in his mather’s arms
[01:09.27]	The parting scene was painfully tarting.
[01:32.98]	Every eye was drowned in tears
[01:35.78]	and wild unrestrained cries of affection
[01:38.82]	as they embraced each other again and again
[01:41.77]	moved even the porters
[01:43.66]	to whom such scenes were familiar.
[01:54.36]	As the train began to move slowly away
[01:57.25]2 or 3 of those upon the platform clung[01:59.35]	screaming to the carriage stores
[02:03.38]	until dragged away
[02:08.27]	And amongst the wild out cry that rows who were left behind
[02:13.17]	One poor woman fell back
[02:15.26]	upon the seat against the wall
[02:17.25]	wailing
[02:18.59]	oh my darling my darling
[02:21.78]	Whilst an old white headed man hard by
[02:24.47]	dropped down on his knees
[02:26.56]	with up lifted arms cried
[02:29.20]	oh may the hand of bliss of god be about thee
[02:33.73]	my own son
