Thomas Moore (1779-1852) Air "the Moreen" Ancient Irish Air
The minstrel boy to the war is gone,
In the ranks of death you'll find him;
His
father's sword he hath girded on,
And his wild harp slung behind him;
"Land
of Song!" cried the warrior bard,
(Should) "Tho' all the world betrays thee,
One
sword, at least, thy rights shall guard,
One faithful harp shall praise thee!"
The Minstrel fell! But the foeman's steel
Could not bring that proud soul under;
The
harp he lov'd ne'er spoke again,
For he tore its chords asunder;
And said "No
chains shall sully thee,
Thou soul of love and brav'ry!
Thy songs were made for the
pure and free
They shall never sound in slavery!
1985
