  1. Our Gaelic speech has high repute
    It speaks as soft, as breathes the flute
    It sings like lovenotes of the lute
    And shines in letters golden.
    No tongue on earth, could e'er compare
    In tuneful notes and cadence rare,
    And. O, to hear her accents
    Where in song and tale,
    Through Innisfail
    Of mighty kings and its chiefs it sings
    For Erinn's nation olden.
