    (continued from previous page)
    desecrate those halls
    Or sneer at family portraits there suspended from the walls
    There are Ironsides, Columbas pride who docked the lion's tail
    And old Sir John that snubbed King George in peerless Avondale

    (IV)
    Go back and tell our kindred dear far o'er the ocean tide
    We can't forget the green flag yet though the stary flag is our pride
    Aye firm and true old land to you through sunshine storm or hail
    We'll build Parnell a monument and free old Avondale.
