“Ye sons of Erin, be of cheer, the day is near at hand, When the Saxon crew will disappear and leave our dear old land...”
(continued from previous page)Our mills once started will employ our people young and old,
And keep at home a noble race, the breed of patriots bold.VII
God may bless the noble men that fought to set us free,
And guard them in their path of love for land and liberty.
With courage bold they took their stand; the Saxon rank they broke
To gain the freedom of our land without a single stroke.VIII
Before I end the lines I've penned, I wish to make it clear -
If united yon together stand, you'll have Home Rule next year.
Your loyal M. P.'s are working hard to make old Erin free,
And once again her flag of green will float from sea to sea!- I
On the fourteenth day of April as I roamed out for a spell
To view the pleasant landscape, old Erin looked so well.
The shamrock and the primrose were springing forth in bloom,
And Phibus sinking down to rest beneath its silvian tomb.(continues on next page)- Informant
