Nature
Land of Heart’s Desire
From Lyra Celtica (1924)
Nature
Land of Heart’s Desire, Isle of Youth,
Dear Western Isle, gleaming in sunlight!
Land of Heart’s Desire, Isle of Youth!
Far the cloudless sky stretches blue
Across the isle, green in the sunlight,--
Far the cloudless sky stretches blue.
There shall thou and I wander free,
On sheen-white sands, dreaming in starlight.
Land of Heart’s Desire, Isle of Youth!
