Home again, home again never to part
Take her, green Erin into thy heart
Rivers Of Wicklow murinur her name
Mountains and valleys echo her fame.
While. under ALL there's moan and sigh
That hearts so loyal and loving must die.
Home sGain, home again all her dreams over.
Lay her TO rest meath the sweet Irish clover;
Tears always tears from the land OF our love-
Are they recorded in Heaven above'
Out Of the clouds will the sun break some day.
This Is our fatii-so We wait, and we pray.
Home agsin. home again over tho water
Behr We her tendsrly. Irclnnd's daughtert
All her work ended In nfe's fairest years
Erin, receive her with pride ani with tears.
Thus it hath ever been, thus 1t shall he,
Love may not alter the Fathers decree
Home again. home again. silent and cold.
Never greeting for scenes loved of old,
Sad the returnng-earth unto earth
Never a smile for the land Of her birth.
Loyal and tender the heart death has Atilled,
Labor diminished and dreams unfunlled
Home again. home again, lovingly now,
Lay we wreath on the fair soepers brow
Take her away to the hills green and fair,
The breath OF thesharocks will ach her heart
Hoine again, home again. all her dreams over
