Go where glory waits thee
Remember the glories of Brian the brave
Erin! The tear and the smile in thine eyes
Oh! breathe not his name
She is far from the land
When he, who adores thee
The harp that once through Tara's halls
Rich and rare were the gems she wore
The meeting of the waters
How dear to me the hour
Let Erin remember the days of old
The song Fionnuala
Believe me, if all those endearing young charms
Erin, oh Erin
Oh! blame not the bard
Avenging and bright
At the mid hour of night
One bumper at parting
'Tis the last rose of summer
The minstrel boy
Dear harp of my country
In the morning of life
As slow our ship
When cold in the earth
Remember thee
Whene'er I see those smiling eyes
Sweet Innisfallen
As vanquish'd Erin
They know not my heart
I wish I was by that dim Lake

Oh, call it by some better name
