  1. A Song

    “The long, long wished for hours have to come a store in vain,”

    Share Share Post
    The long, long wished for hours have come a store in vain
    And has brought us but the feeble hope of sorrow and of pain
    My light of life, my only love, the portion yet will be
    Man's scorn below,Gods wrath above
    A Chuisle ghil mo chroidhe.
    2
    T'was told of thee the world round
    T'was for thee by all,
    That in one gallant sunward bound,
    Would break on ages thrall,
    The truth was tried, alas, and those who suffered all for thee
    Were crushed and branded as the foe
    A Chuisle ghil mo chroidhe.
