The Provinces

By Francis Carlin

Born 1881


O God that I
         May arise with the Gael
To the song in the sky
         Over Inisfail!


Ulster, your dark
         Mold for me;
Munster, a lark
         Hold for me!

Connaght, a `caoine'
         Croon for me;
Lienster, a mean
         Stone for me!

O God that I
         May arise with the Gael
To the song in the sky
         Over Inisfail!
