  1. (continued from previous page)
    And Carricknagat is won.
    And here upon the hallowed ground
    Where Teeling turned the day,
    A monument of stone is found
    To honour deeds of clay!
    It will stimulate our Irish youth
    Heroic deeds to do,
    When next for Freedom and for Truth
    The combat they renew.
    And teach the tyrants of our land
    Enslaved though we be,
    No threat nor terror can withstand
    Our longing to be free.
