    But history tells of Spartan wives who career blessed their husbands brave,
    And sent them forth to free their homes or find an honoured grave.
    Then, bless ye, noble champions, to free our home ye fight,
    Though not in war's grim panoply you seek to gain the right.
    Our prayers and blessings yours shall be while in the tyrant's thrall,
    Oh! brave defenders of our rights - true sons of Donegal!
