A Nation Once Again |
| When boyhood’s fire was in my blood |
| I read of ancient freemen |
| Of Greece and Rome who bravely stood |
| Three hundred men and three men |
| And then I prayed I yet might see |
| Our fetters rent in twain |
| And Ireland long a province be |
| A nation once again |
| A nation once again, a nation once again |
| And Ireland long a province be a nation once again |
| And from that time through wildest woe |
| That hope has shown a far light |
| Nor could love’s brightest summer glow |
| Outshine that solemn starlight |
| It seem to watch above my head |
| Through foreign fields and fame |
| It’s angel voice sang 'round my bed |
| A nation once again |
| A nation once again, a nation once again |
| And Ireland long a province be a nation once again |
| So as I grew from boy to man |
| I bent me to my bidding |
| My spirit of each selfish plan |
| And cruel passion ridding |
| For thus I hope some day to wake |
| Nor can such hope be vain |
| When my dear country shall be made |
| A nation once again |
| A nation once again |
| A nation once again |
| And Ireland long a province be |
| A nation once again |
