When the summer day is over
And the busy cares have flown,
Then I sit beneath the starlight
With a weary heart. alone,
And there rises like a vision,
Sparkling bright in nature's glee,
My own dear Ellan Vannin
With its green hills by the sea.
Then I hear the wavelets murmur
As they kiss the fairy shore,
Then beneath the em'rald waters
Sings the mermaid as of yore,
And the fair Isle shines with beauty
As in youth it dawned on me,
My own dear Ellan Vannin
With its green hills by the sea.
Then mem'ries sweet and tender
Come like music's plaintive flow,
Of someone in Ellan Vannin
That lov'd me long ago,
So I give with tears and blessings,
And my fondest thoughts to thee,
My own dear Ellan Vannin
With its green hills by the sea
*******************************
when god made the earth,the flowers and the trees.
He made all the animals, the birds and the bees.
And when his work was finished not one was quite the same.
He said "I'll walk this earth of mine and give each one a name".
And so he travelled land and sea and everywhere he went.
A little creature followed Him until it's strengh was spent.
When all were named upon the earth and in the sky and sea.
The little creature said "Dear Lord there's not a name for me".
The Father smiled and softly said "I've left you for the end.
I've turned my own name back to front and called you
