Where the Beautiful Rivers. Flow.
oh, Ell sing tonight of a fairy land.
| III the lap of the ocean set,
And of all 1.-The lands I've travelled DER
tits the loveiest I have met;
Where the willows. weep and the roses
sleep and the balmy breezes blow,
In that dear old land, that sweet old
land, where the beautiful rivers
But, oh, alas how can / sing?-'tis all
exile breathes the strain,
And the dear old land of my youthful
love l may never see again;
And the very joys that fill my breast
must ever change to woe,
For that dear old land, that sweet old
land, where the beautiful rivers
flow. -,.
But I'll sing of the lonely old church.
yards, where our fathers bones are
laid
Where the cloisters stand, those ruins
grand that our tyrant foes have
made;
And I'll strike the. harp with mourn
full touch till the glistening tears
For that dear old land, that sweet old
land, where the beautiful rivers
| flow.
And I'll sing OF Emmets lonely fate
and of Emmets lonely grave
OF his early doom and his youthful
bloom and his spirit more thar
| brave;
And ah! how blest and calm his rest
| tho his Grave no cold and low
