Erin, The Tear and the Smile in Thine Eyes

Lyrics

Erin! The tear and the smile in thine eyes Blend like the rainbow that hangs in the skies! Shining through sorrow's stream Saddening through pleasure's beam Thy suns, with doubtful gleam Weep while they rise! Erin! thy silent tear never shall cease Erin! thy languid smile ne'er shall increase Till, like the rainbow's light Thy various tints unite And form, in Heaven's sight One arch of peace!
