Men of Erin

the Elders

Please don't cry, my mother,
As you sit by the hearth
I will dance your memories, with joy in my heart
I will go now and pray as I travel this land
And live by the lessons you gave

Fare thee well, my boy
As you wander this night
Be nor fear'd in the darkness
My heart is your light

As you go, brave men of Erin
Faith and love by your side
I will dream of your peace in the night

Please don't cry, my father,
as you sit by the hearth
I will dance your memories with joy in my heart
I will go now and pray as I travel this land
And live by the lessons you gave

Fare thee well, my boy,
as you wander this night
Be not fear'd in the darkness,
my heart is your light

As you go brave men of Erin
Faith and love by your side
I will dream of your peace in the night

Please don't cry, my children,
As you stand by my grave
I have danced your memories all of my days
I will go now and pray as I travel this land
And live by the lessons you gave
