- (continued from previous page)But through gloom and sorrow
There's a bright tomorrow
When the dawn of freedom shall oer Erin shine
When De Valera and his gallant comrades
Will be victorious in Eren's isle
When that day arrives we will join most glorious
And joy and gladness shall fill the air
And our gallant youth when the struggle is ended
Shall raise the flag of freedom on Sweet Blackstair
- there's the Clashganny's Pipers
With their bands and Banners gay
And the tri colour in the breeze unfurled
As they march on Saint Patrick's day
To play our own melodious airs
Beloved by every gael
We'll uphold the old traditions
In Clashganny's Verdant Vale.The Barrow's crystal waters shine
Through the trees as you pass by
Like jewels flashing in the sun
First greet the traveller's eye
With the humming bees in the gentle breeze.(continues on next page)
