    The cowardly bodach, he never yet dare,
    Lay hands on a Priest in the mountains of Clare!
    Ochone! for old times in the green hills of Clare.

  2. The Irish Reaper's Harvest Hymn

    Share Share Post
    All hail. Holy Mary, our hope and our joy
    Smile down, blessed Queen! on the poor Irish boy.
    Who wanders away from his dear beloved home,
    O Mary! be with me wherever I roam!
    Be with me, O Mary!
    Forsake me not Mary!
    From the home of my fathers in anquish I go,
    To toil for the dark-livered, cold hearted foe,
    Who mocks me, and hates me, and calls me a slave,
    An alien, a savage - all names but a knave.
