- I love this purple-misted Isle,
- This land where I was born.
- The gorse-clad hills and bracken tops,
- The fields of waving corn.
- [...]
- But best of all I love to hear
- The gentle, lilting voice
- Of kindly Manx folk greeting me:
- It makes my heart rejoice,
- To feel once more the friendly hand,
- To hear the welcome warm,
- To look into each smiling face
- And know I have come home.
