DOWN thy valleys, Ireland, Ireland, Down thy valleys green and sad, Still thy spirit wanders wailing, Wanders wailing, wanders mad. Long ago that anguish took thee, Ireland, Ireland, green and fair, Spoilers strong in darkness took thee, Broke thy heart and left thee there. Down thy valleys, Ireland, Ireland, Still thy spirit wanders mad; All too late they love that wronged thee, Ireland, Ireland, green and sad. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...DE LITTLE PICKANINNY'S GONE TO SLEEP by JAMES WELDON JOHNSON CHRISTMAS by PAUL LAURENCE DUNBAR THE KINGS by LOUISE IMOGEN GUINEY THE SPIDER AND THE FLY by MARY HOWITT THE WISTFUL DAYS by ROBERT UNDERWOOD JOHNSON LAMENT by EDNA ST.
