MY IDEAL HOME
Ear, far across the sea,
In that little Isle so green,
l think my home is waiting,
For I've seen it in my dreams.
Surrounded by hills and valleys,
And roses and shamrocks green,
lis plain, old-fashioned farm house
Admist this beautiful scene.
Surrounded by birds and flowers,
Which delighteth you aud me;
| Where the quaint old bells of shannon
Sound so grand on the river Lee.
IT'S the same old-fashioned farm
house,
Where my father was born aud
raised
Where grandmother lived so happily
In those far-Off, old-time days.
know tits place of pleasure,
And place I'd love to roam,
For it certainly delights my Irish
heart,
And call it my ideal home.
But now since the wicked war is on,
Im afraid to go ashore;
So I'll simply have to close my eyes,
And dream Of il once more.
