Oh graceful land I've never seen Your gentle hills of rolling green Oh lovely land before me spread Those cobbled paths I long to tread! Your peaceful pastures - so serene I yearn to see that tranquil scene Your dew-kist meadow - clover fills Your sandstone castles - my heart stills! And on my mind will ever be Your rising cliffs, your misty shore Oh Emerald Isle on the sea You'll call to me forevermore! Oh charming land of leprechauns The 'pot-O-gold', the Blarney Stone Oh Isle of green my heart you own At end of day and when it dawns! Oh graceful land I've never seen Your cobbled paths I long to tread Oh lovely land before me spread Those gentle hills of rolling green! Oh Emerald Isle on the sea Yes, even still, you call to me Oh Emerald jewel of the sea Yes, even still, you beckon me! [This message has been edited by Denise (edited 03-11-2001).] |

Denise, Great descriptions here!! Well done!!  LW Poetry should surprise by fine excess...it should strike the reader as a wording of his own highest thoughts and appear almost a remembrance. -J.Keats |

Beauiful imagary Don't ever give in, if you do you've lost everything you've ever had and everything you hope to gain, but if you carry on your already winning. |
