| There is no rope can strangle song | V |
| And not for long death takes his toll | W |
| No prison bars can dim the stars | X |
| Nor quicklime eat the living soul | W |
| - | |
| Romantic Ireland is not old | Y |
| For years untold her youth will shine | M |
| Her heart is fed on Heavenly bread | K |
| The blood of martyrs is her wine | M |
