Yearning for the Emerald Isle
By Carpe Deum
My heart is on the Isle With the faeries and the sheep My home is with the Irish And the beauty that is Eire The flowing voice of the people The power in their songs The fierce pride in their homeland Though their troubles may be long They're never far from me Just around the bend From the silence of the Arans To the bustle of Dublin My heart is with the Irish Though I live so far from home Give me a moment to be with them again And I'll never want for more Their greeting to me will be Cead Mile Failte A hundred thousand welcomes And thank god you're safely here Sitting around the fire Telling jokes, stories, news Beauty in a thousand forms While my voice raises to the heavens in this solemmn, heartfelt cry... GOD BLESS THE IRISH Written October 6th, 2001 © on Oct 06 2001 02:42 PM PST 0 • 18 • 10
