“Ich am of Irlaunde” Lyrics

Ich am of Irlaunde,
Ant of the holy londe
Of Irlande.
Gode sire, pray ich the,
For of saynte charité,
Come ant daunce wyth me
In Irlaunde.

Genius Annotation

“Ich am of Irlaunde” is an anonymous poem from the 14th century. It would probably have been sung as a refrain to a longer carol, with stanzas sung by a leader and responded to by the audience. W.B. Yeats, an Irishman himself, later adapted it as “I am of Ireland”.
