[ MP ] The Parting Glass

I had just finished my speech. I looked out at the many people that I had met that day and all of the family that I had n't seen in so very long. I had a heavy heart knowing that there was one there that I was n't ever going to see again. Somberly I retook my seat and my cousin stood up to speak. He is a little older than I am and he was markedly more cheerful with his speaking than I was. He was moving far away as well, and he would undoubtedly be seeing me for the last time, or at least for a very long time. But he was n't the one that I was concerned about. Now it was my cousin's turn, and she was to show us how she had been practicing her violin, and she played very beautifully. It was n't a song that I knew, but it sounded lovely all the same. After this, there were no more speakers. It was time for us all to depart. And so the priest said a few more words, and the lid of the casket lowered. I said goodbye to my grandfather for the last time, and began to cry as a melodious song filled the hall. 
 
 `` Of all the money that e'er I had... I spent it in good company...''
