- (continued from previous page)I must see my sweetheart for I know she would shield meAnd with her I will said o'er the seasTwas then I was arrested and cast into prisonTried as a traitor a rebel a spyNobody dare to call me a neighourly cowardFor an hero I lived and a hero I'll dieBold Robert Emmet the darling of IrelandBold Robert Emmet shall die with a smile.
IIIHark I hear the bells tolling and I will know its meaning.My poor heart tells me that it is my heart's knellIn comes the warden the clergy is leading There is nobody here to bade me farewellFarewell Ireland parents, neighbours and sweetheartNow to forget you I must tryI never boast of my actions and this only my dutyFor I laid down my life for the Emerald IsleBold Robert Emmet the darling of IrelandBold Robert Emmet shall die with a smile- Collector
