THE IRISH-CANADIAN

by

DOROTHY RATH

I've never travelled Cloonagh's road

Or sailed on Galway Bay,

But still their music calls to me

From half a world away.

I too have tired of city streets

And dreamed of Innisfree

And well I know the queer wee house

That I shall never see.

I've never looked upon that isle

An ocean lies between.

But still I love its glens and hills

For oh! my heart has seen!
