Oh, my Ireland, you're bound to me <br />For you're the country, I long to see <br />I love your courage, so shining and true <br />For your people died for, the love of you <br /> <br />Chorus <br />Ireland, the land of the green <br />With your valleys shining <br />And the air so clean <br />Ireland, the land of the brave <br />Will always be, my sweet home away <br /> <br />Oh, my Ireland, land of beauty and song <br />And your people so humble, loyal, and strong <br />The hardships you've suffered <br />Have just made you what you are <br />A people of compassion with a will to survive <br /> <br />Oh, my Ireland, the great emerald isle <br />Your children are many, and look to you with a smile <br />With a spirit unbroken, and no sweeter place can be found <br />Because once Ireland calls you....to Ireland you're bound. <br /> <br />Kathleen West <br />January 23,2009 <br />copyright<br /><br />Kathleen West<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/my-ireland-song/
