    [Fr., Un enfant en ouvrant ses yeux doit voir la patrie, et
    jusqu'a la mort ne voir qu'elle.]

There came to the beach a poor Exile of Erin,
The dew on his thin robe was heavy and chill;
For his country he sigh'd, when at twilight repairing.

For it rose o'er his own native isle of the ocean,
Where once in the fire of his youthful emotion
He sang the bold anthem of Erin-go-bragh.
