Jim Dixon Lyr Req: Green-Robed Inisfail / Innisfail (11) RE: Lyr Req: Green-Robed Inisfail / Innisfail 17 Feb 17


From The Monitor and New Era, London, Friday, February 1, 1901, page 10:
[This newspaper seems to be aimed at Irish Catholics.]
M. Diamond (Wigtown) sends some charming lines entitled "Innisfail." We regret we have only space for one stanza:—

Though far away from Erin's Isle
  Some of her brave sons roam
Beyond the wide Atlantic waves
  Ten thousand miles from home,
No matter where they chance to be
  They love each glen and vale
Where the purple Shannon tide flows free
  Through green-robed Innisfail.
[The top of the column says:]
                VERSE COMPETITION.
          PRIZES FOR TOPICAL LINES.
      SOME CLEVER CONTRIBUTIONS.
ORIGINAL VERSES ONLY ARE ELIGIBLE.
[Make of that what you will.]
