    There is a stone there,
    That whoever kisses,
    Oh! he never misses
    To grow eloquent.
    'Tis he may clamber
    To a lady's chamber
    Or become a member
    Of Parliament.

Old Dublin City there is no doubtin'
Bates every city upon the say.
'Tis there you'd hear O'Connell spoutin'
And Lady Morgan making tay.
For 'tis the capital of the finest nation,
With charmin' pisintry upon a fruitful sod,
Fightin' like devils for conciliation,
And hatin' each other for the Love of God.

Th' an'am an Dhia, but there it is--
The dawn on the hills of Ireland.
God's angels lifting the night's black veil
From the fair sweet face of my sireland!

Like a bride in her rich adornin',
And with all the pent up love of my heart
I bid you the top of the morning.
