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 meadows - 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! Denise |

This is very enchanting, Denise, and makes me also get in touch with my Irish roots. Thank you for sharing your lovely desires to visit a seemingly magical place. David |

Denise, this is so wonderful. I'm so glad you brought it back for us. Ireland is the only place I'd really like to go someday... the closest I've been so far is the Irish Hills in Michigan.....not quite the same! Bonnie |

Thanks, David, Lakewalker, Marcy, Bonnie Ellie and Marge for taking the time to read and for such lovely replies! I was inspired to write this after seeing the photographs from a trip to Ireland by my father and my sister and her family. Absolutely fantastic! Perhaps someday I will get there also! Denise |

 I'm mostly of Irish origin, and have always had a longing to go "home"....This strengthened my determination even more.. Very nicely done.. With a little piece of tomorrow, You'll have to kiss yesterday goodbye. Because today won't last forever, And the past will only make you cry. |
