| SOLDIER and singer of Erin, | |
| What may I fashion for thee? | |
| What garland of words or of flowers? | |
| Singer of sunlight and showers, | |
| The wind on the lea; | 5 |
| |
| Of clouds, and the houses of Erin, | |
| Wee cabins, white on the plain, | |
| And bright with the colours of even, | |
| Beauty of earth and of heaven falls | |
| Outspread beyond Slane! | 10 |
| |
| Slane, where the Easter of Patrick | |
| Flamed on the night of the Gael, | |
| Guard both the honor and story | |
| Of him who has died for the glory | |
| That crowns Innisfail. | 15 |
| |
| Soldier of right and of freedom, | |
| I offer thee song and hot tears. | |
| With Brian, and Red Hugh O’Donnell, | |
| The chiefs of Tyrone and Tryconnell, | |
| Live on through the years! | 20 |
