Subject: Lyr Add: 'Erin's Isle' (1861) From: GUEST,Mark Gregory Date: 06 Aug 17 - 10:47 PM I found this in an early Tasmanian newspaper does it ring any bells ? Erin's Isle (1861) Yes I'm weary 'mid the revel In the stranger's land to-day Not one dear voice of those I lov'd All hushe -all pass'd away. The aching breath of sadness wakes With its deep yearning spell The hour I breathed to Erin's isle The whisper of farewell. I strive to teach the longing heart To rest in scenes I've met, To press its weary throbbings down And learn the word forget. But softly some familiar air Steals with it's soothing strain I turn to dream of Erin's Isle Of boyhood's days again. Thou'rt distant now but still I cling To thee my place of birth, I've sought but ah-l've never found A second home on earth. The hopes which gave to life its worth And brought the soul-lit smile Now calmly sleep beneath the turf Of Erin's sunny Isle. A.D.S. Notes From the Tasmanian Newpaper the Cornwall Chronicle 19 Jan 1861 p. 2. cheers Mark |
