A Song (continued)
“Attend my galland Irishman,”
(continued from previous page)III
My curse attend tyrannical laws that binds our native isle,
Our Irish sons are to become slaves are doomed to be exiles.
You know my boys; I struck one blow to banish tyranny
Proud Leitrim's Lord, fell like a dog, far, far from Glancalee
.
IV
No more among the sycamore I will hear the blackbird sing.
No more, I will hear the blue cuckoo, to welcome back the Spring.
No more I will plough those fertile hills, a cushla grádh mo chroidhe
In foreign isle, I am doomed to toil, far, far from Glancalee
V
Brave country boys around me stand. Our comrades kind and true
And as I clasped each trembling hand to bid a fond adiu
Said ", "My gallant country boys," I hope you will soon be free,
And weave the green flag proudly o'er the hills of Glencalee.
VI
May peace and plenty always smile, Around old Erin's shore(continues on next page)
