In a girdle of green, heathy hills, &#13;
In song-famed Donegal, &#13;
An islet stands in a lonely lake, &#13;
(A coffin in a pall), &#13;
&#13;
A single stunted chesnut tree &#13;
Is sighing in the breeze, &#13;
While to and fro “the Pilgrims” flit, &#13;
Or kneel upon their knees; &#13;
&#13;
Down to the shore, from North and East, &#13;
From Antrim and the Bosses, &#13;
Come barefoot pilgrims, men and maids, &#13;
Through water-ways and mosses; &#13;
&#13;
And some from Dublin city, far, &#13;
Where sins grow thick as berries, &#13;
From Sligo some, and Castlebar, &#13;
Come crossing by the ferries. &#13;
&#13;
ii. &#13;
Oh ! blessed Isle, a weary wight, &#13;
In body and in spirit, &#13;
Last year amid your pious ranks &#13;
Deplored his deep demerit; &#13;
&#13;
And though upon his youth had fall’n &#13;
A watchful tyrant’s ban. &#13;
Though sorrow for the unfought fight, &#13;
And grief for the captive man, * &#13;
&#13;
Peopled his soul, like visions &#13;
That cloud a crystal sleep, &#13;
These sorrows there pass’d from him — &#13;
’Twas his sins that made him weep. &#13;
&#13;
And forth he went, confess’d, forgiven. &#13;
Across the heathy hills, &#13;
His peace being made in heaven, &#13;
He laugh’d at earthly ills. &#13;
&#13;
iii.&#13;
Oh ! holy Isle, a ransom’d man &#13;
On a far distant shore, &#13;
Still in his day-dreams and his sleep &#13;
Sits by the boatman’s oar; &#13;
&#13;
And crosses to your stony beach &#13;
And kneels upon his knees, &#13;
While overhead the chesnut-tree &#13;
Is sighing in the breeze; &#13;
&#13;
And still he hears his people pray &#13;
In their own old Celtic tongue, &#13;
And still he sees the unbroken race &#13;
From Con and Nial sprung; &#13;
&#13;
And from departing voices hears &#13;
The thankful hymn arise — &#13;
That hymn will haunt him all his years, &#13;
And soothe him when he dies. &#13;
&#13;
iv.&#13;
Oh, would you know the power of faith, &#13;
Go ! see it at Lough Derg; &#13;
Oh, would you learn to smile at Death, &#13;
Go ! learn it at Lough Derg; &#13;
&#13;
A fragment fallen from ancient Time, &#13;
It floateth there unchanged, &#13;
The Island of all Islands, &#13;
If the whole wide world were ranged. &#13;
&#13;
There mourning men and thoughtful girls, &#13;
Sins from their souls unbind; &#13;
There thin gray hairs and childish curls &#13;
Are streaming in the wind ; &#13;
&#13;
From May till August, night and day, &#13;
There praying pilgrims bide — &#13;
Oh, man hath no such refuge left, &#13;
In all the world wide ! </text>
