 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
