An Address to Irishmen.


An Address to Irishmen
BY ANTHONY A. BARRETT.
Come, Irishmen grid on the sword,
To battle, not alone in word
But rise and soon the English lord
Shall cease to live in Erin
No matter where we strike the blow
No matter where we crush the foe
No matter where overthrow
The chains that now bind Erin.
Brothers, unite-give your aid,
Nor let it be hereafter said,
That Irishmen were e'er afraid
To fight for God and Erin
Then work for Freedoms holy cause,
For Justice and her righteous laws,
For human rights and never pause,
While tyranny's in Erin.
United firmly let stand,
A strong, unwavering, valiant band,
Till shouts proclaim throughout the land,
The freedom of fair Erin
Fond du Lac, Wis, July, 1867.

The Irish republic., 1867-08-17

Gorgeous temples rising, rising, Lord in thy name
While hunted flying lit by his rooftrees' flame;
Temples with towering seepes Haunting their flags in
your face;
But Lord your people dying around each temples base
Or does the swinging its odor clouds to the Skies
Hide those ptul specers around the doors from your
eyes?
Do the sweet bells silver Ginning and the organs mighty
roll,
Drown in their liquid voices the cry of each suffering
Speak to u.s. Lord in thy mercy Think you with priest and
khan,
That all things should bud and blossom nothing decay but
man?
Can the scuptor chise hew thee soul out of puseless
stone?
Can the painter blend his coors to match our blood and
bone?
Or those whte-winged seraph round each golden
shrine,
Praise thee have praised thee with human voice divine?
Can those blue-eyed angels floating in painted skies,
Look up to thee like children, with souls shining in
their eyes?
Did not fathers fathers worship thee on those hills?
Did they not fight for these affairs? See here their crimson
wills,
With the reddest red blood written warmed with the fire of
soul
Here they in bosoms, look each sacred roll.
Let the matter of altar hear what they say of
thee:
"Szaues bend to golden idols ours is the God of the free;
HIS creed, Love anoher-his has CHIEF command,
Theprayer God the people, the Church. natiue land"
Who's quenched the torch of freedom that lit the hills and
wales?
Who's banched the sea- below with bones above with specer
sails?
Our leaders the garments fathers leaders wore,
Green garments that did their hearts black the core
Thy their banners twas also on their lips;
Until bound and bleeding they did show their
whips;
And who could think that devils would guse like this holy
y
But they've got us in bonds of ron and Lord what can
we do?
Oh pious Babel builders you've crossed Gods
Down to the earth and tremble perish in his wrath
Co. raise up human dwellings all the weeping lands
For he who rides the tempest needs temples made by
hands.
The flow of your silver voices drowned in the awful
Of the sea of human sung that aves the eternal shore
Co. change this wall of discord into songso jubilee,
And shun the fiery tempest God is piling up for ye.
Oh, things of heartless SYSTEM mad with foul belief
That God like passion monster, feeds peoples
grief;
That walls of dying nations float up like incense sweet
And hearts all crushed and bleeding golden steps for his
feet
Look your deception deepest arrayed in your hole guse
Sing the joys of dolores, virtues you nly despise
Stand your highest steeple that DER the reekng
sod,
Still the owest heart mong the peope than
to God.
Oh ye who lift your banners the ruins of theand,
The peoples God of justice holds the ghtnings in his hand
To hur against the and unuice the pentup ire
That will wrap your souess idols in Of quenchless
fire..
Nay, chant your man the tombs will make reply
Your hymn of jubation is the nations funeral cry
Your seeples merry Ginning into peals Of sorrow roll
