“The song I sing, is a song of home,”
(continued from previous page)that are gone,
and they'll march with their brothers to freedom, The soldiers of Cuman na mBan

I raise a rann for those who tread,
The path of the dawning day,
who will pause no more till their native shore,
Is free from the Saxon sway
Till from every hill and from every rill,
The freedom cries shall go,
From old and young in the Gaelic tongue,
Sean-Eire na nGaedheal go deo!
Chorous
Hurrah the night is ended,
We see the dawn's red glow,
O shout it high 'tis a freeman's cry,(continues on next page)
