You're a lea of greensward A rock of moss A weathered shipwreck And a pilgrim's cross Your nameless peaks look down the ridges Your waters threaten the injured bridges You are the ashes in your sands You're the bones in your ground You, you are your mother's isle Someday you'll meet a far-off coast And you'll set sails in its seas Despite the constant rains And to reach these elusive shores You'd have to withstand the gales That guide you astray By many miles Further from the friendly isles You're just a worried mother's child You, you are your mother's isle
