    Tho' every breeze o'er land and seas
    Is laden now with sighs and moans
    Tho' empires quake and nations shake
    And monarchs tremble for their thrones
    Tho war-drums roll from pole to pole
    Yet one old spot remains serene
    The German guns and fiery huns
    Won't touch the forts in old Clonmeen

    Are blessed with natures beauteous smile
    Her sons have won an honoured place
    Mid glories of their own green isle
