    Through that lonely valley so bleak and bare
    But vain their flight from their fierce pursurers
    One thousand muskets surround them there.

    Ah sad and dark are our countries stories
    And sad are the tales that our children tell
    When England's vengeance with swords pursue us
    With all the hatred and wrath of hell
    XI
    When shrine was trampled and Church and cabin
    Gleamed in the midnight skies ablaze
    And foreign yeoman in their gladness shouted
    At the wrongs that they wrought in those penal days.
