And
all around me the land of the Gael—
The
world’s garden, the world’s garland,
Ireland,
Ireland.

The landscape shown is in fact Irish.

Modern-day England is blanked out on the map. But the Britannia (mostly now England) that the Romans conquered was Celtic, and remained so until the Anglo-Saxons drove the Celts out.
I have just discovered a series of clips of spirited Celtic music, under the title Celtic Woman, at this URL:http://aomsoulfood.blogspot.com/2016/09/musical-performance-teir-abhaile-riu-by.html. Scroll down to the link to start the first one (they are on YouTube), and the others will follow.
