Ah, sweet is Tipperary in the springtime of the year, When the hawthorn’s whiter than the snow, When the feathered folk assemble and the air is all a-tremble With their singing and their winging to and fro; When queenly Slievenamon puts her verdant vesture on, And smiles to hear the news the breezes bring; When the sun begins to glance on the rivulets that dance— Ah, sweet is Tipperary in the spring! Ah, sweet is Tipperary in the springtime of the year, When the mists are rising from the lea, When the Golden Vale is smiling with a beauty all beguiling, And the Suir goes crooning to the sea; When the shadows and the showers only multiply the flowers That the lavish hand of May will fling; When in unfrequented ways, fairy music softly plays— Ah, sweet is Tipperary in the spring! Ah, sweet is Tipperary in the springtime of the year, When life like the year is young, When the soul is just awaking like a lily blossom breaking, And love words linger on the tongue; When the blue of Irish skies is the hue of Irish eyes, And love-dreams cluster and cling Round the heart and round the brain, half of pleasure, half of pain— Ah, sweet is Tipperary in the spring!
