          Verse transcribed by Frank McGuinness (Kilbeggan), Hut 31, Rath Camp:

          'Our Flag

          We raised it up - no foot shall back
          A step upon the forward track
          For tis not in the days of wrath
          When woe and darkness haunt our path
          It is not when the gallows tree
          Is decked with fruits of liberty -
          That we should bend the knee or pull
          Thee down 'Our homes beautiful'.

          Verse by Pádraig Ó Treasaigh (Laois):

          'We meet again, the master and the student
          The one a sadder but a wiser man, the other still imprudent
          But age and youth, have one same thought
          That Erin's soul shall ne'er be bought.
          Soon may her Freedom's star arise
          And soon may be her foe's demise.
          Then you and I from fetters free
          Shall haste to Leix and Offaly.
          But we together shall come again
          As free, unfettered, unshackled men.
          And then we'll fill and quaff the glass
          That ours and Erin's dawn has come at last.'
