If we want to compete abroad”

“The grey streets of London are greyer than the stone,
The grey streets of London where I must walk my lone,
The stony city pavements are hard to tread, alas!
My heart and feet are aching for the Irish grass.”

“Chat, chat, chat,
Chat noir, chat blanc, chat gris,
Charmant chat couché,
Chat, chat, chat
N’entends-tu pas les souris
Danser à trois les entrechats
Sur le plancher?”

Thy silent doors to let me in?
What! not one glimpse to quicken hope
Of all that I aspire to win?”
