Many the green isle needs must beIn the sea of miseryOr the mariner who's so worn and wonNever thus could voyage onDay and night, and night and dayAlways drifting on his dreary wayAlways been drifting on his dreary wayClosing round vessel's trackWhen dreamers seem to beWeltering through eternityAnd the dim low line beforeOf a so dark and distant shoreStill recedes as ever stillLonging with divided willBut no power to seek or stunHe's ever drifting on and onOver the unresponding waveTo heaven of the graveWhat if there no friends will greet?What if there no heart will ever meet?Wanderer wherso'er he maySongtexteCan he dream before the dayTo find refuge from distressIn friendship's smile and in love's caressMany the green isle needs must beIn the sea of miseryOr the mariner who's so worn and wonNever thus could voyage on.Ay, many flowerin' island lieIn waters of wide agonyTo such an island a morning was leadMy bark by soft wind piloted.
