Lyrics: When boyhood's fire was in my blood I read of ancient freemen For Greece and Rome who bravely stood Three hundred men and three men And there I prayed I yet might see Our fetters rent in twain And Ireland, long a province be A nation once again Chorus: A nation once again (x2) And Ireland, long a province be A nation once again And, from that time, through wildest woe. That hope has shone, a far light; Nor could love's brightest summer glow Outshine that solemn starlight. It seemed to watch above my head In forum, field, and fane; Its angel voice sang round my bed, "A Nation Once Again." Chorus: A nation once again (x2) Its angel voice sang round my bed, "A Nation Once Again." It whisper'd too, that freedom's ark And service high and holy Would be prepared by feelings dark And passion vain or lowly For freedom comes from God's right hand And needs a godly train And righteous men must make our land A nation once again Chorus: A nation once again (x2) And righteous men must make our land A nation once again So as I grew from boy to man I bent me to that bidding My spirit of each selfish plan And cruel passion ridding For thus I hoped some day to aid Oh, can such hope be vain When my dear country should be made A nation once again Chorus: A nation once again (x2) When my dear country should be made A nation once again

This should be the actual National Anthem for Éire and I write this as someone who hates the Young Irelanders.
