The Minstel Boy |
The minstrel boy to the war is gone |
In the ranks of death you’ll find him; |
His father’s sword he hath girded on |
And his wild harp slung behind him; |
«Land of Song!» |
cried the warrior bard |
(Should) «Tho' all the world betrays thee |
One sword, at least, thy rights shall guard |
One faithful harp shall praise thee!» |
The Minstrel fell! |
But the foeman’s steel |
Could not bring that proud soul under; |
The harp he lov’d ne’er spoke again |
For he tore its chords asunder; |
And said «No chains shall sully thee |
Thou soul of love and brav’ry! |
Thy songs were made for the pure and free |
They shall never sound in slavery |
