Notes About The Poem

Emerald Isle

Emerald Isle.  ( song )
.
One ... day I will return to the emerald isle
That I ..love
Where I was born
And my heart belongs
To chase the pretty girls again
And listen to the old
...folk songs……..
.
For although I be a travelling man
And my feet cannot stay still...
So I roam…,,,
I’ve yet to find
A better place
My heart can find a home….
.
How I long….
To breath that air again….
And touch the emerald green
Sit and watch the fishing boats
Sail by
Like as a boy I did
And….. dream
.
How I miss the old.. pub in town
And all the people I used to know…..
I wonder how many are living now
And how many underground
.
For although I be a travelling man
And my feet cannot stay still
So I roam…...
I’ve yet to find
A better place
My heart can find a home…….
.
How I long….
To breath that air again
And touch the emerald green…...
Sit and watch the fishing boats
Sail by
Like as a boy I did
And….. dream
.
One day I will return to the emerald isle…...
That I love
Where I was born……..
And my heart belongs
To chase the pretty girls again
And listen to the old
...folk songs
.
