A poor emigrant's daughter too frightened to know

I was leaving forever the land of my soul

Amid struggle and fear my parents did pray

To place courage to leave o'er the longing to stay"

from "An Emigrant's Daughter" by Barry Taylor (used with permission) To experience the poignancy of Barry's entire poem and the music that it has been set to, click here. Anyone who is a descendant of Irish immigrants cannot help but be truly moved! Thank you Barry!
