W: W:2 W:As slowly into distance dim W:Your shadow sinks and dies, W:So o'er the ocean's utmost rim W:Another realm shall rise; W:New hills shall swell, new vales expand, W:New rivers winding flow, W:But could we for a foster land W:Your mother-love forego? W: W:3 W:Shall mighty Espan's martial praise W:Our patriot pulses still, W:And o'er your memory's fervent rays W:Forever cast a chill? W:Oh, no! we live for your relief, W:Till home from alien earth W:We share the smile that gilds your grief, W:The tear that gems your mirth. W: W: W:The Flight Of The Earls - version 2 W: W:1 W:Beside the camp fire's fitful blaze W:Amid the forest drear, W:I picture in the dying rays, W:The home to me so dear; W:The lowly cot, the leaping stream, W:The spire upon the hill, W:I see them as I lie and dream, W:My heart is with them still. W:. W:2 W:To my green Isle my thoughts return W:Sweet Erin ever blest, W:For thy deep valleys oft I yearn, W:Wherein my kindred rest, W:The shamrock springs within my heart W:When Patrick's day is nigh, W:For though from home and friends apart, W:To them fond mem'ries fly. W:. W:3 W:The loving hearts I've left behind W:With mine in exile beat, W:A joyful welcome sure I'll find W:When there some day we meet; W:O haste ye weary laggard years, W:O speed me o'er the foam, W:To greet again, 'mid happy tears, W:My native land! my home! % % % % % % % % %]
