    (continued from previous page)
    Till the wraiths of a thousand dark hulls span
    From Mweelaun Neg to Maynish Mor
    Our own Clew Bay, and the gathering Clan
    Is anchored there from shore to shore.
    From Vriffan the King, whom the misty dawn
    Found slain at Moy-Leane in all his state,
    To Joseph Mac Owen and Seamus Bawn,
    Whe were hanged as "rebels" in Ninety-Eight
    We that were Irish before the Gael
    Fighting the sea since the world was young,
    Sing of our longing for Inisfail,
    Under alien skies, in an alien tongue.
