SWEET DREAMS OF ERIN.
Copyright, 1886, by N. Weinstein.
Sweet dreams of Erin where'er I roam,
Bring tender mem'ries of my dear old home
Far o'er the waters, on the Shannon's shore,
E'en now I see it as in days of yore.
Last night, in dreams, again I returned
Back to the scenes, for which I have yearned
Ever since the day I bid sad farewell
To Erin and loved ones at home.
Sweet dreams of Erin where'er I roam.
Bring tender mem'ries of my dear old home
Far o'er the waters, on the Shannon's shore.
Even now I see it as in days of yore.
Oft as I wander in my dreams
Amid the mountains and the streams,
I see the golden Shannon flow,
I hear it murmur soft and low.
It seems to sing a sad refrain
Of days that are no more;
Oh, would that I could call back
Those happy days of yore.
