    “Our Gaelic speech has a high repute ¶ It speaks as soft as breathes the flute.”

    Our Gaelic speech has a high repute
    It speaks as soft as breathes the flute.
    It sings like love notes of the lute.
    And shines like letters golden.
    No tongue on earth could e'er compare
    In tuneful note and cadence rare
    And O to hear its accents, where
    In song and tale
    Through Innishfail
    Of mighty kings and chiefs it sings
    Of Erinns nation olden.
