The Green Isle of Erin

There is a voice in the silence A voice ever calling A voice like the song of a far distant sea A music the soul Of the wild breakers roaring If floats like a dream O'er the waters to me I hear it with tears And a heart wildly beating While far and alone In a strange land I roam And I weep as I list And my prayers give it greeting The voice of the green Isle My country and my home (Chorus) Oh green isle of Erin That waits for me yonder Though fate may decree T'is forever be part Still exiled and lonely Where ere I may wander The green Isle of Erin
