- It's ten weary years since I left Erin's shore,
In a far distant country to roam,
How I long to return to my own native land,
To my friends and the old folks at home.
Last night as I slumbered I had a sad dream,
'twas a dream that brought distant friends near,
I dreamt of old Ireland, the land of my birth,
To the heart of her sons ever dear.

And I saw Ireland's valleys and dells.(continues on next page)- Collector
