purity, holy and grand<br \/>\nIt&#8217;s name leaves its daughters and sons with emotion<br \/>\nWhen heard on the shores of a far distant land<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;Tis Ireland, my country, the birthplace of heroes<br \/>\nThe home of the patriot, warrior and sage<br \/>\nOf bard and of chieftain whose names live in story<br \/>\nMay they rest forever on history&#8217;s page.<\/p>\n<p>Sure I love every blade of green grass on your mountain<br \/>\nEvery leaf on your tree, every rock on your strand<br \/>\nI love your green hills and your murmuring fountains<br \/>\nI love you, I love you a chuisle, my own native land.<\/p>\n<p>You once were a proud and a glorious nation<br \/>\nYour name and your fame were all over the world<br \/>\nTil misfortune came o&#8217;er you and sad desolation<br \/>\nAnd your emerald banner in slavery unfurled.<\/p>\n<p>They tortured your children, they destroyed your green banner<br \/>\nThey tried to exterminate you long long ago<br \/>\nBut the Irish, they found, were like wild creeping flowers<br \/>\nThe faster you pluck them, it&#8217;s the quicker they grow.<\/p>\n<p>Sure I love every blade of green grass on your mountain<br \/>\nEvery leaf on your tree, every rock on your strand<br \/>\nI love your green hills and your murmuring fountains<br \/>\nI love you, I love you a chuisle, my own native land.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"templates\/template-full-width.php","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3,12],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-592","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-amhrain","category-amhrain-i-mbearla"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.joeheaney.org\/ga\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/592","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.joeheaney.org\/ga\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.joeheaney.org\/ga\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.joeheaney.org\/ga\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.joeheaney.org\/ga\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=592"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/www.joeheaney.org\/ga\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/592\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":3620,"href":"https:\/\/www.joeheaney.org\/ga\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/592\/revisions\/3620"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.joeheaney.org\/ga\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=592"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.joeheaney.org\/ga\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=592"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.joeheaney.org\/ga\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=592"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
