Farewell my sons and daughters <br />Bright stars await your gazing <br />Go forth to New World waters <br />Your gall will prove amazing <br /> <br />Unleash the thriving spirit <br />That flows inside your veins <br />Become what your will merits <br />Until old shamrock reigns <br /> <br />Embark off this dear shore <br />Whose land was blight by sorrow <br />Look back and weep no more <br />Your heart will rule tomorrow.<br /><br />Pasquale DiMeola<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/the-wet-rot-voyage/
