Emily Lawless - In Spain: Drinking Song

MANY are praised, and some are fair, <br />But the fairest of all is She, <br />And he who misdoubts let him have a care, <br />For her liegemen sworn are we! <br />Then Ho! for the land that is green and grey, <br />The land of all lands the best, <br />For the South is bright and the East is gay, <br />But the sun shines last in the West, <br />The West! <br />The sun shines last in the West! <br /> <br />A queen is she, though a queen forlorn, <br />A queen of tears from her birth, <br />Ragged and hungry, woeful and worn, <br />Yet the fairest Fair on the earth. <br /> <br />Then here’s to the land that is green and grey, <br />The land of all lands the best! <br />For the South is bright, and the East is gay, <br />But the sun shines last in the West, <br />The West! <br />The sun shines last in the West!<br /><br />Emily Lawless<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem..../in-spain-drinking-s
