Lisburn Exiles Forum

(Site is no longer operational pending a major long overdue overhaul of the entire website. Thank you for your patience. Site should still be visible and searchable for old posts.)

The Lisburn Exiles Forum is dedicated to the memory of James Goddard Collins (The Boss) who single-handedly built LISBURN.COM (with a lot of help from many contributors) from 1996 to 29th November 2012. This website was his passion and helping people with a common interest in the City of Lisburn around the world is his lasting legacy.

THE FAIRIES

do you wonder where the fairies dwell
that folks declare have vanishe'd
they're very near,yet very far
but neither dead nor banish'd
they live in the same green world today
as in bygone ages olden,
and they enter in an ancient way
through an ivory gate and golden
to the land of dreams, so fair
and bright
the land for many a rover
but the heart must be pure, and
the conscience light,
would pass that threshold over
the worldly man for its joys may yearn
when pride and pomp embolden,
but ne'er for him shall the hinges turn
of the ivory gates and golden
while the innocent child,with
eye's undim
as the sky in its blueness o'er him
has only to touch its portals rim
and it opens straight before him
some night'when the sun in

darkness dips
we,ll seek that dreamland olden,
and you shall touch with your finger tips
the ivory gates and golden
