MY LAND.

Thomas Osborne Davis

She is a rich and rare land; Oh! she's a fresh and fair land; She is a dear and rare land — This native land of mine.

No men than her's are braver — Her women's hearts ne'er waver; I'd freely die to save her, And think my lot divine.

She's not a dull or cold land; No! she's a warm and bold land; Oh! she's a true and old land — This native land of mine.

Could beauty ever guard her, And virtue still reward her, No foe would cross her border — No friend within it pine!

Oh! she's a fresh and fair land; Oh! she's a true and rare land; Yes! she's a rare and fair land — This native land of mine.
