   Still Chamberlain sat with a hand on his brow.
   No words to his lips can he summon just now.
   De Valera now paused, his mind looking back.
   Through years of oppression, the giblet and rack.
   The deeds of the heroes, their suffering and pain.
   Their blood dying the heather without thought of gain.
   Their homes and their lives they were willing to give.
   Their spirits now praying to forget and forgive.
   The harder the task the greater the deed.
   The richer the harvest the purer the seed.
   And shudder ran down the long bony frame.
   And eyes that waxed fiery again were now tame.
   While Chamberlain sat with his hand on his brow.
   His mind probes the question. "What will he say now?".
   :You've tried your endeavours our spirits to break.
   We've shown you we're ready to take.
   As Christians we live and as traders we meet.
   We're ready tomorrow to swap coal for meat.
   We'll buy all the things we can't make ourselves.
   And you for products will find empty shelves.
   The ports you return were always your own.
   But our friends in the north we shall never disown.
   You've travelled three parts of the long twisted way.
   Be a man go the rest, and we'll call a day.
   Still chamberlain sat with his head on his brow.
   His heart bids him do it, his brain won't allow.
   And in that room the silent twain.
