charles villiers stanford - back to ireland lyrics

oh tell me, will i ever win to ireland again
astore! from the far north+west?
have we given all the rainbows, an’ the green woods an’ rain
for the suns and the snows o’ the west?
“them that goes to ireland must thravel night an’ day
an’ them that goes to ireland must sail across the say
for the len’th of here to ireland is half the world away –
an’ you’ll leave your heart behind you in the west
set your face for ireland
kiss your friends in ireland
but lavе your heart behind you in the wеst.”

on a dim an’ shiny mornin’ the ship she comes to land
early, oh, early in the mornin’
the silver wathers o’ the foyle go slidin’ to the strand
whisperin’ “ye’re welcome in the mornin’.”
there’s darkness on the holy hills i know are close aroun’
but the stars are shinin’ up the sky, the stars are shinin’ down
they make a golden cross above, they make a golden crown
an’ meself could tell you why, + in the mornin’
sure an’ this is ireland
thank god for ireland!
i’m coming back to ireland the morning’
