My Sligo and Yeats

How lovely...So Lovely...This land of my birth...'Tis filled with great history...Grand people of worth...The colleens of fashion...And beauty enthrall...The lads very handsome...Steal hearts, one and all...Now I lost my own heart...To dear Donegal...Until I saw Sligo...The best of them all...The sunshine, the roses...The warmth of the day...The cool-sleeping night-times...Banish troubles away...The welcoming turf-fire...When evening draws nigh...The elegant way, they...Serve tea they call "high"...The so fabulous lakes...Glencar and Lough Gill...I remember from childhood...I do love them still...The beaches of Strandhill...And Rosses Point too...Have an elegant vastness...Just waiting for you...The magnificent view...From the top of Knock'rea...Or dear Old Ben Bulben...Amazing, I say...The rain softly falling...O'er mountain and dell...Adds mystical beauty...In the shades of bluebell...A fisherman's paradise...Lake, river and sea...Abounding in challenge...Just wait patiently...Red fuchsias growing wild...Add colour galore...And blossoms in variance...Embelish the shore...The history, the age less...Hidden under the sod...The chimes of the church bells...Say I'm nearer to God...With my heart full of sadness...I'll say fond adieu...To the county I love...How lucky are you...Please cherish the grandeur...So I need not mourn...I'll boost dear old Sligo...Till again I return...
