Hibernia for Ireland was it's original name
Which translated means 'Place Of Winter' from the Romans it came
When they arrived from Britain a nearby shore
They came saw and left and to there returned never more
Hibernia for the Romans was too cold a place in for to stay
Even in myth and legend there is some truth it does seem this way
These old stories from ancient history do seem to abound
But even in myth and legend some truth to be found
Names are just that as some do like to say
The Country once known as Hibernia is the Ireland of today
It may be far from accurate old history orally passed down
Of the many conquests of ancient warriors of renown
The Romans called it Hibernia and from there sailed away
From the Country that is known as Ireland today.
