Now the dismal clouds are drifting
And the star of hope appears, Lighting Erin's road to freedom
After all the weary years ; Now the olden tongue is spoken,
And across the ocean wide You are bringing news to cheer us
From the old land, Douglas Hyde.
From the banks of Androscoggin,
Where the pine is bending o'er, To the farthest headland marking
California's fertile shore; From the boundless plains of Texas
To Niagara's foaming tide, Hear the shout and hear the greeting —
" Welcome, welcome, Douglas Hyde!" |
