TIMOTHY DANIEL SULLIVAN
(1827 -------)
DEAR OLD IRELAND
Irish Air I
D
EEP in Canadian woods we've met, From one bright island flown; Great is the land we tread, but yet Our hearts are with our own. And ere we leave this shanty small, While fades the Autumn day, We'll toast Old Ireland ! Dear Old Ireland ! Ireland, boys, hurrah !
11
We've heard her faults a hundred times,
The new ones and the old, In songs and sermons, ranns and rhymes,
Enlarged some fifty-fold. But take them all, the great and small, And this we've got to say: Here's dear Old Ireland ! Good Old Ireland ! Ireland, boys, hurrah ! |
