Donal Óg |
| Black as night is this heart within me |
| Black as coal is this grief that drives me |
| Black as bootprints on polished hallways |
| And it’s you who have blackened it forever and always |
| For you’ve taken what’s before and behind me |
| East and West when you would not mind me |
| Sun, moon, and stars from the sky you’ve taken |
| And God, as well, if I’m not mistaken |
| Oh, Donal Óg, you’ll not find me lazy |
| Not like some high-born expensive lady |
| I’ll do your milking, and I’ll nurse your baby |
| And if you were set upon, I’ll defend you bravely |
| When all beside a vigil keep |
| The West’s asleep, the West’s asleep |
| Alas! |
| and well may Erin weep |
| When Connaught lies in slumber deep |
| There lake and plain smile fair and free |
| 'Mid rocks their guardian chivalry… |
