284 THE GOLDEN TREASURY OF
Wolfe Tone has shown us what to do,
And Emmet is not dead; Each Irish heart was leal and true
When Dan O'Connell led; Our Parnell's mound is holy ground,
And holier yet shall be
When full-confest, from East to West, Old Ireland shall be free !
For who shall bind a Nation's soul,
Born by the grace of God ? And who shall fix a slave control
Upon a virgin sod ? None—none, we swear, while Irish air
Breathes life on you and me —
From the Giant's way to Bantry bay Old Ireland shall be free !
