Beautiful Isle of the Sea!

"Beautiful Isle of the sea!
Smile on the brow of the waters!
Dear are your mem'ries to me;
Sweet as the songs of your daughters,
Over your mountains and vales,
Down by each murmuring river,
Cheer'd by the flow'r-loving gales.
O could I wander for ever!"
-George Cooper  (1837-1927)
