[hometext] => Dedicated to Bernie Scanlon and the memory of Mr. Billy Barton
[bodytext] => Ériu's Daughter From the threads of tattered dreams I rise And walk the road lifting the red hem of my mothers dress. A handmedown, worn, neglected The pattern of my dress remains strong, Strong as when it was first sewn by my grandmother. A dignified woman, ancient, her word immutable Tonight I will keep a vigil by my grandfathers sick bed But my children and grandchildren will rise the morning mist, tending the fields, our stock and our visitors.
