My heart is in woe	A
And my soul deep in trouble	B
For the mighty are low	A
And abased are the noble	B
	-
The Sons of the Gael	C
Are in exile and mourning	D
Worn weary and pale	C
As spent pilgrims returning	D
	-
Or men who in flight	E
From the field of disaster	F
Beseech the black night	E
On their flight to fall faster	F
	-
Or seamen aghast	G
When their planks gape asunder	F
And the waves fierce and fast	G
Tumble through in hoarse thunder	F
	-
Or men whom we see	H
That have got their death omen	I
Such wretches are we	H
In the chains of our foemen	I
	-
Our courage is fear	J
Our nobility vileness	H
Our hope is despair	K
And our comeliness foulness	H
	-
There is mist on our heads	H
And a cloud chill and hoary	H
Of black sorrow sheds	H
An eclipse on our glory	H
	-
From Boyne to the Linn	I
Has the mandate been given	I
That the children of Finn	I
From their country be driven	I
	-
That the sons of the king	D
Oh the treason and malice	H
Shall no more ride the ring	D
In their own native valleys	H
	-
No more shall repair	K
Where the hill foxes tarry	H
Nor forth to the air	K
Fling the hawk at her quarry	H
	-
For the plain shall be broke	L
By the share of the stranger	F
And the stone mason's stroke	L
Tell the woods of their danger	F
	-
The green hills and shore	M
Be with white keeps disfigured	N
And the Mote of Rathmore	M
Be the Saxon churl's haggard	N
	-
The land of the lakes	H
Shall no more know the prospect	O
Of valleys and brakes	H
So transformed is her aspect	O
	-
The Gael cannot tell	P
In the uprooted wildwood	Q
And the red ridgy dell	P
The old nurse of his childhood	Q
	-
The nurse of his youth	R
Is in doubt as she views him	S
If the wan wretch in truth	R
Be the child of her bosom	T
	-
We starve by the board	U
And we thirst amid wassail	P
For the guest is the lord	U
And the host is the vassal	P
	-
Through the woods let us roam	V
Through the wastes wild and barren	I
We are strangers at home	V
We are exiles in Erin	I
	-
And Erin's a bark	W
O'er the wide waters driven	I
And the tempest howls dark	W
And her side planks are riven	I
	-
And in billows of might	E
Swell the Saxon before her	M
Unite oh unite	E
Or the billows burst o'er her	M
