Dark Rosaleen

I have always found this poem to be so very romantic and magical.
The way it is written; it just has something special to it, which I immediately fell in love with.
I have often shared this poem with people, as I want them to have a chance to feel the same magical feeling I feel every time I read it – and now I will share it with you.


From Wikipedia:
"Dark Rosaleen" by James Clarence Mangan, a patriotic poem disguised as a love song, in a time when nationalistic expression was outlawed in Ireland. Thus the name is a poetic symbol of Ireland.
