Sad is my fate, said the broken-heartedstranger,—The wild deer and wolf to a covert canflee;But I have no refuge from famine anddanger,A home and a country remain not to again in the green, sunny bowersWhere my forefathers lived, shall I spend the sweet hours,Or cover my harp with the wild-wovenflowers,And strike to the numbers of Erin gobragh!.
