The greens in blue and white
Give welcome to any who roam
Her slow but stoic sights
More hues in forests, lakes and sea
Than captured in the eye
More peaceful, lazy country roads
To contrast lively skies
In quiet of our isolation
Waves climb cliffs to kiss our roots
Then torn up by the devastation
Our hearts dare not believe it true
Where birds once sang to earth ovation
Where broken bliss let forth a moan
That shook the rich soil at its station
And plundered us into unknown
While lighthouse stood t’wards the sea
No sign of danger nigh
While hearts began their breaking deep
And names read far and wide
Then morning came with nation singing
Our waking an unwelcome sigh
We thaw and soften in the grieving
We weep our last goodbyes
If nature could have been the culprit
A storm of sorts had entered in
I would that wind or wave had done it
Our playground lost its innocence
Yet like our namesake indicates
Like moon will pull the tide
We’ll still stand tall beneath the weight
We’ll push forth strong our light
On rocky shores our candles lit
While skies shine red to join
The send off for our fallen kin
And love to guide them on
Yet like our namesake indicates
Like moon will pull the tide
We’ll still stand tall beneath the weight
We’ll push forth strong our light
On rocky shores our candles lit
While skies shine red to join
The send off for our fallen kin
And love to guide them on
