Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDEE FBFBGGCD HIJIKKLL MNMNOOBB PQQQRRII| WITH none to heed or mark | A |
| The prisoner in his cell | B |
| In a dungeon lone and dark | A |
| He tuned his wild farewell | B |
| The harp whose strings might never breathe again | C |
| The joyous sounds it gave to Freedom's strain | D |
| With hurried chords his trembling fingers woke | E |
| And thus the brave but captive rebel spoke | E |
| - | |
| Farewell mine own dear land | F |
| That I have loved thee well | B |
| This faint but blood red hand | F |
| These iron fetters tell | B |
| And if I weep it is not for the breeze | G |
| At summer evenings whispered thro' the trees | G |
| Though I would die to breathe that air again | C |
| I weep to think upon my country's chain | D |
| - | |
| Farewell to those I loved | H |
| Whom I no more shall see | I |
| And oh in sorrow proved | J |
| To those who once loved me | I |
| With whom beneath the chesnut's spreading shade | K |
| In happy days of infancy I played | K |
| Who never more will hear the rebel's name | L |
| Without a blush a crimson blush of shame | L |
| - | |
| Oh I am young to die | M |
| Forsaken thus by all | N |
| With none to hear me sigh | M |
| With none to weep my fall | N |
| How my heart yearns for joys for ever flown | O |
| My mother's hand my sister's gentle tone | O |
| And wishes wild within my bosom swell | B |
| In sorrow's broken tones to bid farewell | B |
| - | |
| Land of untrodden hills | P |
| Where still in happy dreams | Q |
| I hear the mountain rills | Q |
| Leap forth in gushing streams | Q |
| I love thee so that fearfully I shrink | R |
| From death whose power will burst each galling link | R |
| And sigh to live though life no more be free | I |
| Lest in the grave I dream no more of thee | I |
