A Song
“Home I am musing just thinking about the lines”
1
Alone I am musing just thinking 'bout the times,
And the many tribes that flourish in many foreign climes,
I'd be thinking about all Adams clan from 'Frisco to Bombay,
When seated by the big turf-fire with my dhudheen made of clay.
11
I'd be thinking about our exiled clans true children of the Gael,
Who had to leave their Irish homes o'er stormy seas to sail,
And now they are nation building in regions far away,
Whilest Eire is amourning - with my dhudheen made of clay.- Collector
