AN IRISH REJOICING - song
Blessed are those who are born of this land
Happy are those who can hold fast its hand
Who can pull up a chair
And bid goodbye to care
We won't ask what you're thinking
When we ask what you're drinking
Lucky are those who share this old bond
Eager are they who come from beyond
To this land full of history
Magic and mystery
We won't ask why you smile
Or why you stop here a while
But we understand why you''ll always come back
To find a warm welcome and the fun of the craic
No matter where you go
Or how far you roam
You're never far from Ireland
You're never far from MY land
Our forever island home

Thanks, KJ. I'm currently completing a sea-shanty style version of
my previously published poem "Down By The Mewstone" which I
will try to upload here in the near future.
