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