When Shall I Again See Ireland 1917 'Eileen'

When far from the land
that I'm proud to call my own,
I repine till the heart o' me is sore!
And I dream of the past
and the happiness I've known,
while my soul seems to whisper
o'er and o'er:

Tell me when I shall again see Ireland?
There's no other spot I know
that's half so fair!
I am longing for my home,
my Sireland,
for my heart, my hope,
my loved ones are there!

Where else could you meet
with a welcome half so sweet,
though 'tis poor and disheartened
you come home?
Here a friend is a friend
and he will be to the end!
So, forever I'm singing as I roam:

Tell me when I shall again see Ireland?
There's no other spot I know
that's half so fair!
I am longing for my home,
my Sireland,
for my heart, my hope,
my loved ones are there!
