Erin's Ruins Stand in Blossom, by Frank L. Ludwig

Erin's Ruins Stand in Blossom

Erin's ruins stand in blossom,
jewellery from Nature's store,
bounteous like the Hanging Gardens
Babylon was famous for.   Flowers, purple, pink and yellow,
red as blood, blue as the sky,
breaking through the walls of ivy,
bring a heaven to our eye.   Everything that man created,
Beauty conquers it at last,
and the Paradise is growing
over dwellings of the past.
