Isle of Hope, Isle of Tears - The Irish Tenors

Here is The Irish Tenors {Finbar Wright, Anthony Kearns and Ronan Tynan}, singing Isle of Hope, Isle of Tears. Annie Moore was the first immigrant to the USA to pass through the Ellis Island facility in New York Harbour. Moore arrived from County Cork, Ireland aboard the steamship Nevada on January 1, 1892, her fifteenth birthday. As the first person to be processed at the newly opened facility, she was presented with a $10 gold piece. Moore was accompanied by her brothers Phillip and Anthony. Annie Moore http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Annie_Mo...) The History of Ellis Island http://www.ellisisland.org/genealogy/... On the first day on January, Eighteen ninety-two, They opened Ellis Island and they let The people through. And the first to cross that threshold Of that isle of hope and tears, Was Annie Moore from Ireland Was all of fifteen years? CHORUS: Isle of hope, isle of tears, Isle of freedom, isle of fears, But it's not the isle you left behind. That isle of hunger, isle of pain, Isle you'll never see again But the isle of home is always on your mind. In her little bag she carried All her past and history, And her dreams for the future In the land of liberty. And courage is the passport When your old world disappears But there's no future in the past When you're fifteen years Chorus When they closed down Ellis Island In nineteen forty-three, Seventeen million people Had come there for sanctuary. And in Springtime when I came here And I stepped onto its piers, I thought of how it must have been When you're fifteen years. Chorus
