letra de a nation once again - the davitts
when boyhood’s fire was in my blood
i read of ancient freemen
for greece and rome who bravely stood
three hundred men and three men;
and then i prayed i yet might see
our fetters rent in twain
and ireland, long a province, be
a nation once again!
a nation once again
a nation once again
and lreland, long a province, be
a nation once again!
and from that time, through wildest woe
that hope has shone a far light
nor could love’s brightest summer glow
outshine that solemn starlight;
it seemed to watch above my head
in forum, field and fane
its angel voice sang round my bed
a nation once again!
it whisper’d too, that freedom’s ark
and service high and holy
would be profaned by feelings dark
and p-ssions vain or lowly;
for, freedom comes from god’s right hand
and needs a godly train;
and righteous men must make our land
a nation once again!
so, as i grew from boy to man
i bent me to that bidding
my spirit of each selfish plan
and cruel p-ssion ridding;
for, thus i hoped some day to aid
oh, can such hope be vain ?
when my dear country shall be made
a nation once again!
