  1. (continued from previous page)
    Hurrah! the night is ended
    We see the dawn's red glow
    Oh! shout it high to a free man's cry
    Sean-Éire na nGaedheal go deo
    III
    I'll raise a Rann for those who tread
    The path to the dawning day
    Who will pause no more till their native shore
    Is free from Saxon sway
    Till from every rill and from every hill
    The free mans' shout shall go
    From old and young in the Gaelic tongue
    Sean-Éire na nGaedheal go deo.
