Come Ye Back to Green Isle
This song captures the beauty of the mysterious Green Isle. At the same time, it calls out to all creatures who can trace their heritage back to the island and its clans to come and visit for awhile.

Come Ye Back to Green Isle
By
Foxpiper
Come ye back to bonnie Green Isle,
Where welcoming otters and ottermaids dwell;
Sail the shores and stay for awhile,
And rest your head at Holt Summerdell.
Stroll through the meadows with heavenly heather,
While wandering the paths both pretty and plain;
Sojourn at Summerdell during inclement weather,
And give your regards to the great High Rhulain.
So come ye back to bonnie Green Isle,
Where warmhearted creatures wish you a good stay;
Sample the fruits from orchards most fertile,
While walking with friends and cherishing the day.
Harken back to a mystical time long before,
When clans gathered around the old Standing Stones;
This island holds ancient and legendary lore,
Sung by the bards with whimsical tones.
So come ye back to bonnie Green Isle,
Where fresh water flows down silent streams;
Sit under a tall tree and rest for awhile,
And be lulled to sleep with the hope of sweet dreams.
Journey to Deeplough where the Slothunog once slept,
And remember the braw beasts that lost their lives there;
In the hearts of many, their memories shall be kept,
For the loss of loved ones is a hard burden to bear.
So come ye back to bonnie Green Isle,
Where happiness and health shall always reign;
Kindness and care stretches more than a mile,
And peace and prosperity shall forever remain.
