Legend has it that the name Emerald Isle was coined by an Irish poet in the 14th century, who was struck by the beauty of the Irish country's landscape. In William Drennan's poem, "When Erin First Rose" he breathes life into the name that has been used for centuries to describe the country's lush and verdant terrain.
