“Bind me-I still can sing-Banish-my mandolinStrikes true within-Slay-and my Soul shall riseChanting to Paradise-Still thine.”
“Though the last glimpse of Erin with sorrow I see,Yet wherever thou art shall seem Erin to me;In exile thy bosom shall still be my home,And thine eyes make my climate wherever we roam.”
“Make me a captive, Lord,And then I shall be free;Force me to render up my sword,And I shall conqueror be.I sink in life's alarmsWhen by myself I stand;Imprison me within Thine arms,And strong shall be my hand”
“And I will sing with my soul that my song shall echo in thy heart for eternity.”
“For, if I imp my wing on thine,Affliction shall advance the flight in me.”
“For if I wimp my wing on thine. Affliction shall advance the flight in me.”
