Dolores O'Neill Craig
O! thine welcoming haven
from life’s tumultuous storm;
thy golden heart’s beckoning
from majestic Ireland’s own
nurturing, emerald harbor
doth guide my drowning spirit;
no distressed wind, nor brute discord
may deter thy heart of gold -
neither a world of bitter troubles
may crush thy most gentle, Irish soul!
And as thy pure light doth shine,
my weary arms reach thine shore;
thy beacon, thy golden heart
shines on, on forevermore!
