  1. (continued from previous page)
    'Neath the scourge of English hate.
    Men of Wexford, Men of Antrim,
    Men whose names shall ne'er decay,
    But shall shine like stars, to lead us.
    To the Dawning of the day.
    iii
    O'er the fields your blood has hallowed,
    Oh, ye hosts of Irish dead.
    In the light of Freedom's morning
    Men of Ireland soon shall thread.
    When the foemen reels before them,
    In the thunder of the fray,
    They shall shout your names in triumph
    At the Dawning of the day
