Rhyme Scheme: ABACCC DEDCCE CFCGHF IJIKKJ ALACCL IMINNM OPONN ICICCC| The sun is setting behind the range | A |
| his golden rays pour down | B |
| On a little figure childish strange | A |
| Bending over a volume worn | C |
| Whose green clad cover dusty and torn | C |
| Bears a 'harp without a crown' | C |
| - | |
| The young eyes turn to the distant west | D |
| Where the sunset colours glow | E |
| And thoughts are thrilling the childish breast | D |
| Of gallant valorous deeds long done | C |
| Of glorious battles fought and won | C |
| In the days of long ago | E |
| - | |
| His fancy peoples the lonely glen | C |
| With the ghosts of the vanished past | F |
| Till he hears the tramp of armed men | C |
| And O'Niall's plumed horsemen ridge | G |
| While the 'Red Hand' flutters in all its pride | H |
| Above them on the blast | F |
| - | |
| And just where the road winds into the creek | I |
| Where the jasmine stars the shade | J |
| With the soft wind kissing her blushful cheek | I |
| Beautiful grey eyed Dierdrie stands | K |
| Stretching to Naisi her snowy hands | K |
| Half welcoming half dismayed | J |
| - | |
| The purple hues of the gully change | A |
| With the deepening shades of night | L |
| And far in a nook of the distant range | A |
| Is Michael Dwyer of the Wicklow glen | C |
| Holding his desperate stand again | C |
| 'Gainst the redcoat soldier's might | L |
| - | |
| The west wind rises across the creek | I |
| And with it the crash of steel | M |
| Carries a flush to the listener's cheek | I |
| 'Tis only the crash of branches dry | N |
| But in it he hears the battle cry | N |
| And the patriot's words of zeal | M |
| - | |
| And martyred shades come thronging around | O |
| To the roll call of Liberty | P |
| Louder their eager voices sound | O |
| Till towering tree tops and glowing sky | N |
| Are echoing back the defiant cry | N |
| 'Michael answer for me ' | - |
| - | |
| The moon is rising above the creek | I |
| The shining stars look down | C |
| On a little dreamer whose pillowed cheek | I |
| Rests in a volume worn | C |
| Whose green clad cover dusty and torn | C |
| Bears ' Harp without a Crown' | C |
