Thomas Moore - Song of InnisfailThomas Moore - Song of Innisfail
Work rating: 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.
