REACTIFUL ISLE OF THE SEA
Beautiful Isle OF the sea.

Over yon mountains and dales.
Down by each murmurng river.
Far over your sumncrkissed wales

Land OF the true and the Old,
However dear unto mo.
Fountain OF pleasure untold
Beautiful isle OF tho sea.
or on your shell-slrdled shore
Evening has round me reclining
Visions OF youth flowing o'er
Down whero the lighthouse Is shining
Far from the pleasures you gave
Far from all joys worth possessing
sun Ger tho lone. weary wave
Comes 10 the wanderer your blessing.
