- (continued from previous page)College Green,
The bone and sinew would stop, Erin, in you,
And make all this Island a Lisereen. - Though the scenes of my childhood
No more I may see
Nor visit again the sweet vale of Tralee
Where in youth I have strayed
With friends who were true to their own island mother
Sweet Erin with you
II
Though now far away in a far distant land.
Far, far, from those green fields and mountains so grand
How oft doth my heart in its loneliness stray
To those fond friends o fair scenes
So far far away.
III
Now fancy brings back those loved scenes to my view.
Those mountains so grand, and those friends ever true.
And the sweet rippling stream that meandered its way
By the home of my childhood so far far away.
IV
How I long to behold you sweet Erin again
And ramble thy wild plains both mountain and glen.(continues on next page)- Collector
