| Notes | The speaker of this poem describes an emigrant man who has been living in a new country for 40 years. Despite his long stay in the country, his home country will never abandon him. There is a reference to an 'aisling' - a vision poem - in this poem as well. This may refer to the difficulty of emigrant populations in fully assimilating into a new country and culture. |
