    John Mitchell.

    We praise the kingly men who strive,
    Against England's hate for Ireland's love
    Who pined in many a prison - cell,
    Who passed there, many an earthly hell.
    Their love was brave and pure and true
    A love no tyrant could subdue
    And among that host, we acclaim
    John Mitchell's life, John Mitchell's name
    11
    God rest him well, the brave and beal,
    Whose life was lived for Ireland's weal,
    Who scorned the Saxon scowl and smile
    Who tore the veil from Saxon guile.
    Whose slogan swept o'er hill and glen
    And rallied Ireland's wavering men
    Now God be praised, still brightly gleam
    John Mitchell's hope, John Mitchell's dream
