    "Vile ruffians" "Villahe tyrants" too
    They call the spirits brave
    In face of threatening danger who
    Stepped forth the land to save
    Who strove together side by side.
    To end the spoilers reign
    And bring back peace and happiness
    To the old land again.

    Tis eventide - the sinking sun
    Goes down behind the hill
    One lingering ray he cast around
    On castle, ruin, and rill.
    Meet hour for me to seek the spot
    Where my loved home did stand
    And curse the devastators of
    Our fair and fertile land.
