Dreaming Of home and the land Of
my childhood,
My though hts wander back to each
mountain and dale.
The beauties Of Ireland no pen can
describe them,
No country is equal to sweet In
install.
The low lying meadows, the ever
green valleys.
The glens and the cliffs with their
beauty so true,
The bushes and brambles with fra
GRANGE so charming,
The beauties of nature so lovely to
view.
The clear placid streams that glide
over the country,
And murmur along by each wood
land and glen,
Over wild rocks to ramble through
bushes and brambles,
With beauty SO sparkling no poet
can pen.
The ivy and laurel entwining together
Their fragrance adorning by each
winding way,
The vioets and poses and pretty
primroses,
That cover the wayside with gor-
geous array.
The hawthorn bush with its frag.
rance so charming,
The blackthorn cugle with its
blossom SO gay,
The fields and the bitches all cover
with daisies,
The broum and whin bushes with
orange display.
Carnations Of every description
abounding,
The lanes and the roadsides with
beauty so gay,
The firm and green rushes with all
kinds of bushes,
o wh:re in this world can such
beauty display.
The beautiful heather that covers
the mountains,
And beautities nature with Its nice
purple bell,
With cotton tails blowing and every.
thing showing,
Their fragrance so pretty no poet
can tell
The neat cottage homes with beauty
surrounded,
Flower beds and roses of every hue
With neat fuchSia bushes entWined
by the wall sides,
So picturesque splendid and pretty
to view.
Methinks the Creator ere his work
was completed
With tbs land of the shamrock
ended his toll,
And to crown his creation with
prize to each nation,
lie made her the fairest and
sweetest of all.
