The Green Fields of Ireland |
We are an island, way out on the sea, We are the Irish, as proud as can be. In soft spring breezes or wild winters' wind, My heart's in the green fields of Ireland. Over the moorland and over the lee, Across the Atlantic, what do I see? The high hills of Antrim, the coastline of Clare, The green fields of Ireland beckon me there. -- Brian Coll |
