to eire - arnold bax lyrics

Loading...

to thee, beloved, of old there came
the sailers of a thousand ships
who learned to love thy hidden name
and love the music on thy lips;

but some, who thought to build thy pyre
and on its ruin rear a throne
have loved to sit around thy fire
and count thy saddest songs their own;

and sons of thine, who broke love’s bands
to seek a fabled far*off shore
grope thro’ the world with aching hands
and hunger for thee evermore;

for, tho’ thy sorrow may not cease
tho’, blessing, thou are still unblest
thou has for men a gift of peace
o daughtеr of divine unrest!
