   I pray God may it be my lot to travel back some day
   To scenes I love and can't forget at home in Sweet Galway.

   There is no one where I was born would recognize me face:
   Yet still I hope that some bright morn I'll see that lovely place.
   The friends I loved in early youth are long since passed away,
   But I will pray above their graves at home in Sweet Galway.

   Why should he lay his secret bare, Speak to the world his hidden woe? You'll read his tale, somehow, somewhere, And know. His grief - worn heart in that dim light Shall rise unmindful of the past, And truth shall triumph in the fight, At last
