    And history shall recall his deed
    Until the end of time

    (10)
    It was a youthful murder
    As you may understand
    But he died a true-hearted martyr
    For the sake of Ireland

    Let other poets write and sing
    About the beauties of the spring
    But I will take my pen and write
    Of one who is my heart's delight
    (2)
    Whose eyes out view the stars above
    Whose face is full of tender love
    Whose ruby lips and raven hair
    Proclaim her Queen of Killinkere
    (3)
    Oh maiden whom I long to meet
    To hear thy voice so low and sweet.
    To climb again old stucco Hill
    And sit in sight of Sundy's mill
