The Easter Rising
That the Lord God gave to my youth…
I have squandered the splendid years…
To a dream that was dreamed in the heart,
And that only the heart could hold…
O wise men, riddle me this: What if the dream come true?”
(“The Fool” by P.H. Pearse)
We pledge our efforts to fulfill the dream:
That Ireland's thirty two counties again may claim,
As the United States have done,
'E Pluribus Unum'
Out of many, one!
Easter Monday, March 28, 2016
