Amhrán (continued)
“You brave sons ofErin and daughters so pleasing, ¶ With bright smiling features of every degree”
(continued from previous page)In many a hard battle as I said before,
Where our fathers were conquered, upturned and banished
By the Saxon invader in black days of yore.And oh! to this land, I can never describe it,
To be seen with delight in its fragrance so pure.
And the fine crystal channels all round Innisfallen
That were once well examined by the poet Thomas Moore.Quite lonely and silient is this blessed Island,
The swans that reside there are whiter than snow,
And the Royal Victoria, that spot so adoring,
So gloriously smiling on famed Aghadoe.From England, from Scotland, from Belgium and Holland
The tourists came gathering in Summer, you know
From New York and Boston they plough the Atlantic
And pay their first visit to the Gap of Dunloe.I have now come to Beaufort where you oft have resorted,
That place so well noted for fame and renown,
And in the tall trees there yonder, 'mid beauty and wonder
Is the seat of Judge Day by the banks of Laune.(continues on next page)- Collector
