PoETRY
Written for The Irish Republic.
Fall into Line,

BY WILLIAM COLLINS.
Fall into line the bugle's note
Proclaims our flags again afoat,
And Liberty's wild voice is heard,
And Irish hearts are wildly stirred,
And sabers clash and cannons roar
In thunder voice from shore to shore,
And rifles crash and bayonets shine
Fall into line fall into line
Fall into line :! the hour has come
When bristling pike and rolling drum,
When serried ranks and flashing spears
Must take the place of sighs and tears,
And foreign tyrants turn and flee
Before Green Erin's chivalry.
And Erin's flag will soar and shine
Fall into line fall into line!
Fall into line all you who dare
Ola Erln's glorious green to wear,
Who fear no foreign tyrants' frown
And burn to pull their banners down.
From mountain, hill and valley come;
When Freedom calls, should we be dumb!
Leave slaves and priests to fawn and whine
Fall into line fall into line!
Fall into line tits steel alone
Can reach the tyrant's heart of stone;
And prayers and tears and signs are vain
To break the captive's CALLING chain.
