WANT to go to the heather hills, To the heather hills and rocky shore I want to climb to Ben-Edar's heights, And to smell the sea once more.

I want to talk by an Ulster hearth, Where welcome ever a stranger finds, I want to stand on a Connaught hill, And sing to the four great winds.

I want to see on a Kerry moor The purple turf smoke, coil, and soar, I want to hear a soft Munster voice That sings by a cottage door.

I want to go to the Leinster hills, To the Dublin hills by the rocky shore. I want to climb to Ben-Edar's heights— I want to be home once more. [71]
