   burst of liberity beams in the West. And neath the twin flags of Columba and Erin.
   Our land shall have peace and our children find nest.

   Chorus

   Then twine them together n'er parted to be.
   Let them float on the winds the flags of the free.
   What tyrants should dare join those emblems to land.
   There's the stars and the stripe with the harp of our land.

   Long have our hearts borne the snare of the tyrants.
   Long have the stranger polluted our lands.
   Long habe we toiled while famine oppressed us.
   For to feed the oppressor and his robber hand.
   But help is at hand and the dark clouds are breaking, and her sons who were driven far
