| There lives a subtle spell | B |
| The faint blue smoke the gentle heat | A |

| - | |
| Of white roads winding by the edge | C |
| Of bare untam d land | D |
| Where dry stone wall or ragged hedge | C |
| Runs wide on either hand | D |
| - | |
| To cottage lights that lure you in | E |
| From rainy Western skies | F |
| And by the friendly glow within | E |
| Of simple talk and wise | F |

| To listen to the lay that charms | G |
| The Connacht peasant yet | H |

| Wholly for things of earth | J |

| Cold cold this thousand years yet still | K |
| On many a time stained page | L |
| Your pride your truth your dauntless will | K |
| Burn on from age to age | L |
| - | |
| And still around the fires of peat | A |
| Live on the ancient days | M |
| There still do living lips repeat | A |
| The old and deathless lays | M |
| - | |
| And when the wavering wreaths ascend | N |
| Blue in the evening air | O |
| The soul of Ireland seems to bend | N |
| Above her children there | O |
