Thomas Moore

“ We’ll sing at Saint Ann’s our parting hymn.
Row, brother’s, row, the stream run’s fast
The rapids are near, and the day-light’s past
Why should we yet our sail unfurl?
There is not a breath the blue wave to curl. ”

“ And said, "No chains shall sully thee,
⁠"Thou soul of love and bravery!
"Thy songs we’re made for the pure and free
⁠"They shall never sound in slavery!"
