We Sang for Ireland: Poems of Ethna Carbery, Seumas MacManus, Alice Milligan (1950)
EthnaCarbery's "The Passing of the Gael" (1906), which was a sentimental treatment of the Irish diaspora during the 19th century (partly because of the Irish Potato Famine), suggested that Irish emigrants longed for their homeland.
Carbery refers to Kathleen Ni Houlihan by name as the personification of Ireland that the emigrants miss.
