    (continued from previous page)
    To our noble martyred dead
    That our lives may be devoted
    to the cause for which they bled.
    VII
    Mary, Erin's mother, hearken
    To our pleading prayer
    Listen to our plaintive calling
    from the depths of our despair.
    VIII
    Plunkett, Ireland's noble martyr
    And you host of Irish saints
    Plead before the God of Battles
    Now to end our dire complaints.
    IX
    And when at last the sun of freedom
    Shines o'er hill and dell
    May they always be remembered
    Those who bravely fought and fell.
