Homes on the Mountain. <br /> <br />Get up Ye lads and see if Ye can walk as well as Yer fathers before Ye. <br />To where the cattle united Boithirin’s <br />There you'll find Souls fluttering between Worlds <br />Those who once <br />Walked to chain these mountains. <br /> <br />Rare blooms indeed! <br />Them Yanks in Philadelphia <br />Knowing only Brotherly Love <br />“God help us all” <br />An' all the Wild men. <br /> <br />Read us a song, why don’t Ye <br /> <br />“The flagstone of loneliness is truly cold yet they sleep like heroes.” <br /> <br />© Calac <br /> <br />Boithirin’s.
