DEDICATION

I

For all my fellow-countrymen,
And women, East or West,
For every kindly Irish heart
Within an Irish breast;

II

All exiles for the Old Land who long,
And those whose destinies
Have held them in that Land of Dreams,
Knowing no other skies;

III

For all abroad, and all at home,
My songs to every wind
I breathe, in hope one song of mine
One Irish heart may find.
