Yes; glory's shining light
Must irradiate the night, And renew the flaming splendor of the day!
And freedom's sinking crew
Shall recover hope anew, And nail the blazing splendor of this ray, ray, ray, And hail the blazing splendor of this ray.
The green flag on the air,
Sons of Erin and despair, To the breach In serried column quick advance.
On the summit we may fall:
Hand in hand, my comrades all, Let us drink a last adieu to merry France, France, France; Let us drink a last adieu to merry France.
To Erin, comrades, too,
And her sunny skies of blue, A goblet commingled with tears!
With the fleur-de-lis divine,
The green shamrock shall entwine; But the Ancient see the Sun-burst rears; rears, rears; The Ancient see the Sun-burst rears. |

THE SHAN VAN VOGH.
Oh! the French are on the sea,
Says the Shan Van Vogh; The French are on the sea,'
Says the Shan Van Vogh; Oh! the French are in the Bay, They'll be here without delay, And the Orange will decay, Says the Shan Van Vogh.
Oh! the French are In the Bay, They'll be here by break of day And the Orange will decay, Says the Shan Van Vogh.
And where will they have their camp?
Says the Shan Van Vogh; Where will they have their camp?
Says the Shan Van Vogh:
On the Curragh of Kildare,
The boys they will be there,
With their pikes In good repair,
Says the Shan Van Vogh.
To the Curragh of Kildare The boys they will repair, And Lord Edward will be there, Says the Shan Van Vogh.
Then what will the yeomen do7?
Says the Shan Van Vogh; What will the yeomen do?
Says the Shan Van Vogh: What should the yeomen do. But throw off the red and blue, And swear that they'll be true
To the Shan Van Vogh?
What should, &c. And what color will they wear?
Says the Shan Van Vogh; What color will they wear?
Says the Shan Van Vogh; What color should be seen Where our fathers' homes have been, But their own immortal Green?
Says the Shan Van Vogh.
What color, &c. -. |
