O'Donnell Of Tipperary
| Unknown |
|---|
| Place me before your scarlet ranks, A thousand men and more, And though the chain around me clanks, I´ll keep the oath I swore. Plant gun and bayonet to my teeth, And let them pierce me through; But while a heart´s within my breast I´ll never speak for you! You brought me here an honest man, You shall not make me slave No eye shall ever ´traitor´ scan Upon O´Donnell´s grave. The darkest wrong your power can do Can alter not the vow, Which says my children ne´er shall see That brand upon my brow! The true man´s words are borne aloft, To shine among the stars; We cherish them within our hearts In spite of bolts and bars. Mid all our sorrows and our wrongs, Our deep and burning shame, The brighter, purer for it all Appears O´DONNELL´S name! This page has been viewed 1463 times This material might be copyrighted. |
