Down thy valleys, Ireland, Ireland, <br />Down thy valleys green and sad, <br />Still thy spirit wanders wailing, <br />Wanders wailing, wanders mad. <br /> <br />Long ago that anguish took thee, <br />Ireland, Ireland, green and fair, <br />Spoilers strong in darkness took thee, <br />Broke thy heart and left thee there. <br /> <br />Down thy valleys, Ireland, Ireland, <br />Still thy spirit wanders mad; <br />All too late they love that wronged thee, <br />Ireland, Ireland, green and sad.<br /><br />Sir Henry Newbolt<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/ireland-ireland/
