The angels of the sunlight clothe In England the corn's golden ears, Round me: yet would that I to-day The angels of the sunlight clothe Saw sunlight on the Hill of Howth, In England the corn's golden ears, And sunlight on the Golden Spears, Round me: yet would that I to-day And sunlight upon Dublin Bay. Saw sunlight on the Hill of Howth, And sunlight on the Golden Spears, And sunlight upon Dublin Bay. In hunger of the heart I loathe These happy fields: I turn with tears Of love and longing, far away: In hunger of the heart I loathe To where the heathered Hill of Howth These happy fields: I turn with tears Stands guardian, with the Golden Spears, Of love and longing, far away: Above the blue of Dublin Bay. To where the heathered Hill of Howth Stands guardian, with the Golden Spears, Above the blue of Dublin Bay. -1894 |
