  1. (continued from previous page)
    And tempest they are howling over the mountains of Mayo.
    The spirits of great Pearse and Tone will re-echo over Clew Bay,
    And I'll keep the home fires burning with my dhuidheen made of clay
    XI
    With all I cherish one bright hope that Ireland will be free,
    From the loft peaks of Mourne to the winding banks of Lee,
    Then over exiles will return across the surging spray,
    And I'll meet them at Dunleary with my dhuidheen made of clay.
