            <text>"Dear home of penance, peaceful holy dale,&#13;
Far from the foolish world, its cares and ills,&#13;
Around the dark Lough stretches many a rill,&#13;
Framed like a mirror by the blue green hills.&#13;
&#13;
Its waters kiss thy shores with fond embrace,&#13;
When breezes gently sigh and sunbeams warm,&#13;
When wild winds blow, its billows round thee race,&#13;
Like faithful watch dogs shielding three from harm.&#13;
&#13;
Thou art not beautiful and fair to view,&#13;
As islets rich in flowers and verdure green,&#13;
But one can feel the beauty deep in you,&#13;
As a pure soul illumes a body mean.&#13;
&#13;
To even tread thy soil is to have shared,&#13;
The mystic sanctity that hovers round,&#13;
One listens for the voice that Moses heard,&#13;
'Take off thy shoes for this is holy ground.'&#13;
&#13;
The sinner comes to the with head downward,&#13;
World weary, wretched, with despair imbrewed,&#13;
When thy shore days of chastenment are passed&#13;
he leaves there happy, hope and faith-renewed.&#13;
&#13;
Dear Martyred isle, long years the bigot strove&#13;
with fell destruction and with ruin stark&#13;
with fiendish hatred for thy people drove&#13;
And all but sunk thee 'neath the waters dark.&#13;
&#13;
But all in vain that fury hell inspired&#13;
Time after time thy modest shrines arise,&#13;
By greater love thy clients hearts were fired&#13;
As each new penalty the tyrant tries.&#13;
&#13;
For little do they know the Irish heart&#13;
So long sustained by Paidrig's prayers above,&#13;
To think that fear or suffering world part&#13;
His people from his shrine 'twould but increase their love.&#13;
&#13;
How proud we are dead island that we see&#13;
Though who through long sad years thy people cheered&#13;
Now when religion faith triumphant be,&#13;
Thou'rt still in holy erin most revered.&#13;
&#13;
God's wondrous mercy and His loving hand&#13;
Has crowned thy sorrows with a rich reward,&#13;
A whole church the first in all the land,&#13;
Pray his love keeps thee and forever guard."</text>
