Low
They came from a land beyond the sea,
And now o`er the western main
Set sail, in their good ships, gallantly,
From the sunny land of Spain.
"Oh, where`s the isle we`ve seen in dreams,
Our destined home or grave?"
Thus sung they as, by the morning`s beams,
They swept the Atlantic wave.
And lo, where afar o`er ocean shines
A sparkle of radiant green,
As though in that deep lay emerald mines,
Whose light through the wave was seen.
"`Tis Innisfail — `tis Innisfail!"
Rings o`er the echoing sea;
While, bending to heaven, the warriors hail
That home of the brave and free.
Then turn`d they unto the Eastern wave,
Where now their Day-God`s eye
A look of such sunny omen gave
As lighted up sea and sky.
Nor frown was seen through sky or sea,
Nor tear o`er leaf or sod,
When first on their Isle of Destiny
Our great forefathers trod.
