A Song
“Do you remember sweet Crusheen in far off County Clare?”
Do you remember sweet Crusheen
In far off County Clare?
Oh 'tis always and 'tis always
I am longing to be there.
Where the morning sun is making
Dew-drop diamonds with its sheen.
There my heart lies with the shamrocks
That are blooming in Crusheen.T'was I that had the bounding feet,
The heart that sand all day.
T'was I that had the merry laugh,
The pleasant word to say.
T'was that never went a step beyond our own boreen
But some true heart was waiting for me
To keep me in Crusheen.Sad was the day and dark the hour
When but a colleen still
I bade farewell to all I loved.
To emerald vale and hill.(continues on next page)
