Written by Pat Fitzgerald
Of all the roads and rural rainways,
Carry me to calm, green boreens to gaze.
Not to cities, cold and sparkling bright,
Nor townlit trails that tempt at night.
For this land a lush, emerald delight,
Stirs my soul with silent light.
Nature’s notes in every weave —
Find me firm, for I’ll not leave.
Where windswept woods in whispers speak,
And mossy mounds hold mystic streak,
Each hedgerow hums in humble tune,
Beneath the breath of a silver moon.
By brooks that babble through the glade,
And fern-filled fields where fawns have strayed,
The dusk draws down with dusky grace,
On hill and hearth — this holy place.
With skies that swell in sapphire hue,
And dawns that drip with diamond dew,
The lark lifts light with lilting song,
As time ticks tenderly along.
So plant me proud where peat fires burn,
Let roots run deep and never turn,
In this dear dale where dreams abide,
Forever found at nature’s side.
