Excerpt from Beautiful Ireland: Reminiscences of Erin and Her Children It is a rare privilege for an Irish-American to visit the birth-land of his parents. The folk-songs of Ireland sung at American hearths, the vivid pictures of Erin's scenic loveliness and the stories of her saints and scholars, statesmen and soldiers, recounted either with pathos or Celtic animation, make the American youth or maiden yearn to visit that fair land hallowed by so many sacred memories. Ireland's sweet songs were sung for me in my childhood. The beauty of her green fields and sunny skies were oft limned for me with the magic brush of an Irish mother and father and the heroism, valor, suffering, learning and rock-ribbed faith of Erin's sons and daughters told with words of sweet exultation or dire indignation. I dreamt of Ireland since my boyhood. I longed to behold her sea-beaten cliffs and the majestic sweep of her rivers.
