My island home she calls to me <br />No matter where I seem to roam <br />She waits for me so patiently <br />And whispers, 'Lover please come home' <br /> <br />We've been apart for twelve long years <br />And scarcely know each other’s ways <br />Although my heart's been drenched with tears <br />She brings me back to better days <br /> <br />When I was young and walked her land <br />And met her people fair and true <br />She used to hold me by the hand <br />Oh Ireland, I still love you.<br /><br />Anthony Joseph Erangey<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/oh-ireland-2/
