The Minstrel Boy to the war is gone, In the ranks of death … - Thomas Moore

" "
The Minstrel Boy to the war is gone,
In the ranks of death you'll find him;
His father's sword he has girded on,
And his wild harp slung behind him.

Additional quotes by Thomas Moore

Take all the pleasures of all the spheres,
And multiply each through endless years,—
One minute of heaven is worth them all.

Who has not felt how sadly sweet
The dream of home, the dream of home,
Steals o'er the heart, too soon to fleet,
When far o'er sea or land we roam?

But Faith, fanatic Faith, once wedded fast
To some dear falsehood, hugs it to the last.

The Minstrel Boy to the war is gone, In the ranks of death you'll find him; His father's sword he has girded on, And his wild harp slung behind him. - Thomas Moore
