Let Erin Remember

Thomas Moore
Let Erin remember the days of old Ere her faithless sons betrayed her When Malachy wore the collar of gold That he won from the proud invader When her kings with standards of green unfurled Led the Red Branch Knights to danger Ere the emerald gem of the Western World Was set in the crown of a stranger On Lough Neagh's banks as the fisherman strays In the clear cold eve declining He sees the round towers of other days In the waters 'neath him shining Thus shall memory often in dreams sublime Catch a glimpse of the days that are over Thus sighing, look through the waves of time For the long-faded glories they cover This page has been viewed 2186 times

Let Erin remember the days of old
Ere her faithless sons betrayed her
When Malachy wore the collar of gold
That he won from the proud invader
When her kings with standards of green unfurled
Led the Red Branch Knights to danger
Ere the emerald gem of the Western World
Was set in the crown of a stranger

On Lough Neagh's banks as the fisherman strays
In the clear cold eve declining
He sees the round towers of other days
In the waters 'neath him shining
Thus shall memory often in dreams sublime
Catch a glimpse of the days that are over
Thus sighing, look through the waves of time
For the long-faded glories they cover
