Says Rory the Blacksmith from Ireland.
"I come from old Erin of ancient renown,
A land under England, her laws and her crown,
A land where the people are wrong'd and kept down";

"And here in Chicago I work day by day,
And at night, when I'm thinking, I earnestly pray
That good luck may attend on that land far away":
