    A Song of the dawn
    1
    The song I sing is a song of home
    A song of roisin dubh,
    of glade and glen, of ford and fen,
    of lake and of mountain blue,
    of the signs that stand over all the land,
    To tell of long ago,
    Let voices ring in the song I sing,
    Sean, Eire na ngaideal go seo
