A Nation Once Again II |
When boyhood’s fire was in my blood |
I read of ancient freemen |
For 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 lreland, long a province, be |
A Nation once again! |
And from that time, through wildest woe |
That hope has shone a far light |
Nor could love’s brightest summer glow |
Outshine that solemn starlight; |
It seemed to watch above my head |
In forum, field and fane |
Its angel voice sang round my bed |
A Nation once again! |
It whisper’d too, that freedom’s ark |
And service high and holy |
Would be profaned by feelings dark |
And passions vain or lowly; |
For, Freedom comes from God’s right hand |
And needs a Godly train; |
And righteous men must make our land |
A Nation once again! |
So, as I grew from boy to man |
I bent me to that bidding |
My spirit of each selfish plan |
And cruel passion ridding; |
For, thus I hoped some day to aid |
Oh, can such hope be vain? |
When my dear country shall be made |
A Nation once again! |
