  1. Calm and cool amid the heather
    In a wind swept country wild
    Like a watchful Guardian Angel
    Standing o'er a wayward child
    II
    Beckoning onward upward ever,
    Sending forth insistent call,
    To the best in Irish manhood
    Stands the old Hibernian Hall
    III
    Never has the green flag wavered
    In a man of Tossey's hand
    Never here the cause of Redmond
    Lost a single honest man.
    IV
    Here undaunted 'mid the tauntings
    Of the knaves and traitors all
    Stood the old guard here in Tossey
    Sheltered by the ancient Hall.
