Thomas Moore - Let Erin Remember the Days of OldThomas Moore - Let Erin Remember the Days of Old
Work rating: Low


Let Erin remember the days of old,   Ere her faithless sons betray`d her; When Malachi wore the collar of gold,   Which he won from her proud invader, When her kings, with standard of green unfurl`d,   Led the Red-Branch Knights to danger! Ere the emerald gem of the western world   Was set in the crown of a stranger. On Lough Neagh`s bank as the fisherman strays,   When the clear cold eve`s declining, He sees the round towers of other days   In the wave beneath him shining: Thus shall memory often, in dreams sublime,   Catch a glimpse of the days that are over; Thus, sighing, look through the waves of time,   For the long-faded glories they cover.
