   She blushed like refulgent Arora,
   Composing fair seamrog so green.

   Dejected in grief she stood waiting
   I listened awhile to her song;
   He words they were true and prevailing
   She complained of a merciless wrong.
   She said Luther was the instigation
   Of hatred, malignant and spleen
   And that reprobate vile Reformation
   Degraded the Shamrock so green.

   My ill-fated country I mourn
   I feel for her wrongs and her woes
   With wrath I incessantly burn
   When I view the triumph of her foes.
   Justice, oh, why dost thou slumber?
   Why tyrants oppress us so keen
   Weighty are the chains that encumber
   The friends of the seamrog so green

   Poor Catholics for their profession
   From under a burdensome yoke
   Crushed down by the weight of oppression
   Combined and designed to provoke.
   Our humble petitions are slighted
   By tyrants morose and obscene
