Joe Offer Lyr Req: My dear Irish home (10) ADD: My Irish Home 09 Nov 25


And another:

MY IRISH HOME.

While o’er the billow’s heaving breast
    Our bark does slowly glide,
Each lingering look is backward cast,
    Along the curling tide—
And still I hope some happier day
    May teach me not to roam,
But bless me with the smiles so gay
    That cheered my Irish home.

Yet, Erin dear, thy green-clad hills
    Recede too fast from view,
While now each breeze the canvas fills
    That bears me far from you—
And, oh! I stand upon the deck,
    To hear the rustling foam,
That half conveys my sorrows back
    To my dear Irish home.

And now, I watch thy mountains high,
    Above the ocean’s brim,
In graceful beauty touch the sky,
    Through closing night-shades dim,
Till every vista disappears,
    And lost in evening’s gloam,
The twinkling star of night, that cheers
    My much loved Irish home.
