Lyrics
When boyhood’s fire was in my blood,
I read of ancient freemen,
For Greece and Rome who bravely stood
Three hundred men and three men,
And then I prayed I yet might see
Our fetters rent in twain,
And Ireland long a province be
A nation once again.

CHORUS
A nation once again, (2)
And Ireland long a province be
A nation once again.

And from that time through wildest woe
That hope has shone a far light,
Nor could love’s brightest summer glow
Outshine that solemn starlight,
It seemed to watch above my head
Through forum field and fane,
Its angel voice sang round my bed
A nation once again!

CHORUS

So as I grow from boy to man,
I bent to me that bidding,
My spirit of each selfish plan
And cruel passion ridding,
For thus I hoped some day to aid,
Nor can such hope be vain,
When my dear country shall be made
A nation once again.

CHORUS
