There is pleasure in the pathless woods,
There is rapture on the lonely shore,
There is society, where none intrudes,
By the deep sea, and music in its roar,
I love not man the less, but Nature more.

I believe you wholeheartedly, and I wish I could see Ireland one day…
There is pleasure in the pathless woods,
There is rapture on the lonely shore,
