  1. (no title) (continued)

    Ye sons of Erin, be of cheer, the day is near at hand, When the Saxon crew will disappear and leave our dear old land...

    (continued from previous page)
    Our mills once started will employ our people young and old,
    And keep at home a noble race, the breed of patriots bold.
    VII
    God may bless the noble men that fought to set us free,
    And guard them in their path of love for land and liberty.
    With courage bold they took their stand; the Saxon rank they broke
    To gain the freedom of our land without a single stroke.
    VIII
    Before I end the lines I've penned, I wish to make it clear -
    If united yon together stand, you'll have Home Rule next year.
    Your loyal M. P.'s are working hard to make old Erin free,
    And once again her flag of green will float from sea to sea!
