I yearn to return to Eire
to rediscover the roots
of my ancient family tree
still rooted deep in the soil
of my true homeland
to drink in lost heritage
until it soaks my soul
with knowledge of the past
to be of County Longford
to speak the old language
my American lips never
have allowed to murmur
and search to see if the
fairies of fireside tales
do really play amoungst
hidden valleys and glades
I long to be home |
