Rhyme Scheme: ABAAB CDCED FEFFE GAGGA| It's only a sod but twill break me ould heart | A |
| Nigh hardened wid toilin and carin | B |
| And make the ould wounds in it tingle and smart | A |
| It s only a sod but it s parcel and part | A |
| Of strugglin sufferin Erin | B |
| - | |
| It s only a sod but it rakes the ould pain | C |
| The ould love in me heart that still lingers | D |
| That Time has been soothing and docth ring in vain | C |
| And now he must soothe it and heal it again | E |
| Wid his kindly and gentle ould fingers | D |
| - | |
| It s only a sod but I see a big ship | F |
| Through the gallopin waters come tearin | E |
| And a lass that looks back on the horizon dip | F |
| Wid eyes full of tears and a thrimblin lip | F |
| On the last that she saw of ould Erin | E |
| - | |
| It s only a sod but wid care it will keep | G |
| Till me brooms and me brushes are silint | A |
| Put it into me arms ere they bury me deep | G |
| And tell them old Biddy the slavey does sleep | G |
| Neath a sod from the bogs of ould Irlint | A |
