Poems MacCarthy, Florence Denis

282
collection of poems.
The Irish Emigrant's Mother. This poem was published under the title of
"The Emigrants" in The Bell-Founder and Other Poems, 1857.
Errata.
Printer's errors found in the 1882 edition have been corrected in this
electronic edition. While I have no desire to standardize Mr.
MacCarthy's spelling or curtail his poetic license, in some cases where
I could not find a documented variant matching the printed source I have
replaced it and listed the change here. Occasionally I have inserted
punctuation where it is obviously missing. Naturally it is possible
that some of these "corrections" are themselves erroneous. When in
doubt about either a spelling or punctuation error, I have followed the
text of the original. The list below does not include minor corrections
(punctuation and capitalization) in notes or introductions.
