    shone
    And I thought I could weep forever those singers and soldiers gone
    I gazed on the tranquil water eddying silent there
    And I thought of the hues of slaughter once ruddied those waves so fair

    But Dublin's name is splendid in the gloom of her Easter Graves
    Those harps in the dust are lying their lyrical beauty flown
