Prom t^re full-breasted women, the eartl)-¢eb men Prom Galway anb Cork anb from Antrim's bleak glen. The north anb llje south both are blenbeb in me, All the rage anb the passion; the neeb to be free Prom the well of emotion, the grief anb the gall, T^e guilt anb the glory, I live with it all. Gob, a person bom Irish bears somewhat of a curse, But not to be Irish is a fate even worse, Por from out of the pain in an Irish soul, Insistent as the ocean's roll that pounbs the shore until it's raw. Came Sean O'Casey, Bernard sfoaw, Hugene O'Neill, Behan, anb Yeats, All of them Irish, all of them greats. Lie/' Watch h& work with her hanbs, watch &er tenb a lame horse, Watch her bear life's misfortunes as a matter of Through the centuries of struggle, the plight of the poor, what country but Ireland could so lona enbure The history troubled It's currently grave, Not the lanb of the free, but the home of the bravel Gob, if there's reincarnation [anb well there might be) whatever you have in your books about me, if you bo senb me back to this planet of men pfease be merciful, Gob, make me Irish again. flmen
