walk alone
The gray city pavements are hard TO
tread, alas.
My heart and feet are aching for the
Irish grass.
For down the winding boreen the grass is
soft as silk.
The wind is sweet as honey. the hedges
white as milk.
Gray dust and grayer houses are here,
and skies like brass,
The lark is singing. soaring o'er the Irish |
grass.
The gray streets OF London stretch out a |
thousand mile.
o dreary walls and windows. and never a !
song or smile!
Heavy with money getting. the sad gray
people pass.
There's gold in drifts and shadows in the
Irish grass.
God built the pleasant mountains ana
blest the fertile plain
But in this sad gray London God knows |
go in pain
O brown as any amber, and clear as any
glass,
The streams my heart hears calling from
the Irish grass.
The gray streets OF London they say are
paved with gold,
I'd rather have the cowslips that two
small hands could hold:
I'd give the yellow money the foolish folk
amass
For the dew that's gray as silver on the
Irish grass.
/ think that I'll be going before die of
grief
The wind from over the mountains will
give my heart relief;
The cukoo's calling sweetly calling In
dreams, alas
Come home. come home, acushla. to the
Irish grass
