SONG OF INNISFAIL.
They came from a land beyond the sea,
And now o'er the western main
Set sail, in their good ships, gallantly,
From the sunny land of Spain.
“Oh, where's the Isle we've seen in dreams,
“Our destin'd home or grave?”
Thus sung they as, by the morning's beams,
They swept the Atlantic wave.
And now o'er the western main
Set sail, in their good ships, gallantly,
From the sunny land of Spain.
“Oh, where's the Isle we've seen in dreams,
“Our destin'd home or grave?”
Thus sung they as, by the morning's beams,
They swept the Atlantic wave.
And, lo, where afar o'er ocean shines
A sparkle of radiant green,
As though in that deep lay emerald mines,
Whose light thro' the wave was seen.
“'Tis Innisfail
—'tis Innisfail!”
Rings o'er the echoing sea;
While, bending to heav'n, the warriors hail
That home of the brave and free.
A sparkle of radiant green,
As though in that deep lay emerald mines,
Whose light thro' the wave was seen.

Rings o'er the echoing sea;
While, bending to heav'n, the warriors hail
That home of the brave and free.
Then turn'd they unto the Eastern wave,
Where now their Day-God's eye
A look of such sunny omen gave
As lighted up sea and sky.
Nor frown was seen through sky or sea,
Nor tear o'er leaf or sod,
When first on their Isle of Destiny
Our great forefathers trod.
Where now their Day-God's eye
A look of such sunny omen gave
As lighted up sea and sky.
Nor frown was seen through sky or sea,
Nor tear o'er leaf or sod,
When first on their Isle of Destiny
Our great forefathers trod.
