Sons of the race whose siresA
Aroused the martial flameB
That filled with smilesC
The triune IslesC
Through all their heights of fameB
With hearts as brave as theirsD
With hopes as strong and highE
We'll ne'er disgraceF
The honoured raceF
Whose deeds can never dieE
Let but the rash intruder dareG
To touch our darling strandH
The martial firesI
That thrilled our siresA
Would flame throughout the landH
-
Our lakes are deep and wideJ
Our fields and forests broadK
With cheerful airG
We'll speed the shareG
And break the fruitful sodL
Till blest with rural peaceM
Proud of our rustic toilN
On hill and plainO
True kings we'll reignO
The victors of the soilN
But let the rash intruder dareG
-
To touch our darling strandH
The martial firesI
That thrilled our siresA
Would light him from the landH
-
Health smiles with rosy faceF
Amid our sunny dalesP
And torrents strongQ
Fling hymn and songQ
Through all the mossy valesP
Our sons are living menR
Our daughters fond and fairG
A thousand islesC
Where Plenty smilesC
Make glad the brow of CareG
But let the rash intruder dareG
To touch our darling strandH
The martial firesI
That thrilled our siresA
Would flame throughout the landH
-
And if in future yearsS
One wretch should turn and flyE
Let weeping FameB
Blot out his nameB
From Freedom's hallowed skyE
Or should our sons e'er proveT
A coward traitor raceF
Just heaven frownU
In thunder downU
T' avenge the foul disgraceF
-
But let the rash intruder dareG
To touch our darling strandH
The martial firesI
That thrilled our siresA
Would light him from the landH
