The Name Erin.*

[True.]

An Irish teacher, sounding Erin's glory,
Dictated to small Saxons the sweet story
Of Patrick's preaching Christ to the old Erse--
"Children of Erin, lifted is the curse. . . ."

"My little child," the lady bent adown
Her smiling face, and vainly tried to frown,--
The Saxon pupil carefully had writ
"Children of Aaron." Do but think of it.

Elsa D'Esterre-Keeling.

*Pronounced in Ireland, Airun.
