Erin, The Tear And The Smile In Thine Eyes

Ere 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 sons with doubtful gleam
Weep while they rise

Ere thy silent tear never shall cease
Ere thy languid smile ne'er shall increase
Till like the rainbow's lush
Thy various tints unite
And form in heaven's sight
One arch of peace
