The Irish Brigade |
| 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 Ireland, long a province, be |
| 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 |
