When all beside a vigil keep the West's asleep, the West's asleep Alas and well may Erin weep when Connacht lies in slumber deep there lake and plain smile fair and free mid rocks their guardian chivalry sing oh let man learn liberty from crashing winds and lashing sea That chainess wave and lovely land Freedom and Nationhood demand be sure the great God never planned for slumbering slaves a home so grand For long a brave and haughty race honoured and sentinelled the place Sing Oh, not even their son's disgrace can quite destroy their glory's trace For often in O'Connor's van to triumph dashed each Connacht clan and fleet as deer the Normans ran through Corrsliabh Pass and Ardrahan and later times saw deeds as brave and glory guards Clanricard's grave Sing Oh they died their land to save at Aughrim's slopes and at Shannon's waves And if, when all a vigil keep The West's asleep, The West's asleep Alas! And well may Erin weep When Connacht lies in slumber deep But, hark! A voice like thunder spake The West's awake! The West's awake! Sing, Oh! Hurrah! Let England quake! We'll fight till death for Eireans sake.
