Kilnamartyra Exile - Niamh Parsons[00:00:00]

I am a lonely exile, who left my own dear nation,[00:00:04]

To seek a situation in a land beyond the foam;[00:00:14]

I have travelled o'er the ocean,[00:00:23]

admidst hardship and through dangers,[00:00:28]

And for years I've been a stranger,[00:00:34]

to my own dear native home.[00:00:39]

Where once I lived contentedly,[00:00:44]

with friends I loved surrounding me.[00:00:48]

Care nor grief ne'er troubled me,[00:00:54]

nor made my heart feel sore,[00:00:58]

But when my days are over[00:01:04]

and I'm parted from my country,[00:01:09]

And Kilnamartyra homely face,[00:01:14]

my eyes shall see no more.[00:01:19]

It was there my heart felt happy,[00:01:26]

before I took a notion[00:01:30]

To sail across the ocean,[00:01:35]

from the land that gave me birth;[00:01:40]

Though dark and dismal clouds have[00:01:45]

cast their shadows o'er me,[00:01:50]

And I knew but pleasure only[00:01:55]

while stood on Irish earth.[00:02:00]

And though the money tempted me,[00:02:05]

far from my cabin home to flee,[00:02:10]

And sail across the stormy sea,[00:02:16]

in search of gold and store;[00:02:20]

I sailed away from Erin,[00:02:25]

far from the land that bore,[00:02:30]

And bade my friends in Ireland[00:02:36]

arewell for ever more.[00:02:40]

I have travelled through Columbia,[00:02:46]

all toil and danger storming[00:02:51]

From it's farthest eastern borders,[00:02:56]

to the westward and the deep;[00:03:01]

From its broad extended cotton fields,[00:03:06]

on the plains of Alabama,[00:03:11]

To the coal mines of Montana[00:03:17]

and Rockies wild and steep.[00:03:21]

I hunted for prosperity[00:03:26]

but still it has eluded me,[00:03:31]

and bleak misfortune followed me,[00:03:37]

no matter where I'd roam,[00:03:41]

And often in my anguish,[00:03:47]

I cursed the fate that took me,[00:03:51]

From the comrades of my boyhood[00:03:57]

and the land I loved so well.[00:04:01]

Brief boyhood recollections,[00:04:07]

Shall ever fondly bind me[00:04:12]

To the friends I left behind me,[00:04:17]

across the raging main;[00:04:22]

And to you, sweet Kilnamartyra,[00:04:27]

where one time I resided,[00:04:33]

But now I am divided[00:04:38]

by the ocean waves from thee.[00:04:43]

Now age is overtaking me[00:04:48]

and youth is fast forsaking me,[00:04:53]

And friends that once delighted me,[00:05:00]

perhaps I'll see no more,[00:05:04]

And when my days are over[00:05:09]

and death has come and taken me,[00:05:14]

I fondly will remember thee[00:05:21]

dear land that I adore.[00:05:26]
