IRISH MEMORIES, by                     Poet's Biography
First Line: Oh, green and fresh your english sod
Last Line: And he and I together.
Alternate Author Name(s): Greene, G. A.


Oh, green and fresh your English sod
With daisies sprinkled over;
But greener far were the fields I trod,
And the honeyed Irish clover.

Oh, well your skylark cleaves the blue
To bid the sun good-morrow;
He has not the bonny song I knew
High over an Irish furrow.

And often, often, I'm longing still,
This gay and golden weather,
For my father's face by an Irish hill,
And he and I together.
