Oh! Arranmore Loved Arranmore by Thomas Moore

 Oh! Arranmore, loved Arranmore, 
How oft I dream of thee, 
And of those days when, by thy shore, 
I wander'd young and free. 
Full many a path I've tried, since then, 
Through pleasure's flowery maze, 
But ne'er could find the bliss again 
I felt in those sweet days. 

How blithe upon thy breezy cliffs 
At sunny morn I've stood, 
With heart as bounding as the skiffs 
That danced along thy flood; 
Or, when the western wave grew bright 
With daylight's parting wing, 
Have sought that Eden in its light 
Which dreaming poets sing;

That Eden where the immortal brave 
Dwell in a land serene -- 
Whose bowers beyond the shining wave 
At sunset, oft are seen. 
Ah, dream too full of saddening truth! 
Those mansions o'er the main 
Are like the hopes I built in youth -- 
As sunny and as vain!
