    (continued from previous page)
    where no pearls can chase me
    Never again shall
    my brothers embrace me
    They would die to defend me
    and live to deplore.

    V
    Buried and cold
    when the harp stricks emotion
    Green be the fields
    Sweetest Isle of the ocean
    But the sweet looking barls
    Stricks aloud with devotion
    Eirn mo verine
    Slán leat go breágh

    VI
    Yet all its sad recollection
    surpressing one dieing
    Wish that to my
    lone bosom can draw
    Erin and exile
    beqoute thee is blessing
    Land of my forefathers
    Eirn go breágh
