AN IRISH HEART SPEAKS.
FANNIE PARNErI.


What give our land to YOU, England!
What give our land to you!
Our ravaged land, whose every rood
Our patriots bones bestrew
Our blood d-steeped land, our plundered land
With seed OF martyrs sOwn,
Our tortured land, our writhing land,
Which yet we call our own;
Cur fearless land, our noble land,
That knows not how to yield,
Our land that Freedom set apart,
Her chosen battlefield.
What give her up to you, England, ~
Slave driver to the world!
Whose flag for murder and for greed
Is evermore unfurled;
Our glorious land, our sacred land,
The land of many prayers,
The land of saints, that still by right
Its title proudly wears
Aye, tear the old green banner down,
And toss it to the flames!
Wipe out the living, blood-writ page
That bears our heroes names;
Let Emnlets lonely tombstone wait
Its epitaph in vain.
And great O'Connell's broken heart
Now break for us again
Then you shall have our land, England,
And you shall have our ,necks,
And with our unfraternal hate
No more your love we'll vex;
But you shall have our crops and gold,
Our flesh and blood and souls,
While every joy bell on our shores
The nations death knell tolls.
Now, well for us we know at last
The secret of our pain;
We thought twas you, kind England, held
The scourge, the sword, the chain
Now well indeed the clearer light
Has dawned for us at last;
'Tis not the light we've waited long,
The snnburst Of the past.
New suns we dreamed not of dispel
The errors of our sires,
And clasping brothers hands shall quench
Decrepit Freedoms fires.
So you shall have our land, England,
And mid forgotten graves
Well squat and think how sweet a thing
ls brotherhood for slaves!

selves. Friday at noon the two parties met and q
