Many a manly chest was throbbing for the blessed warning light. \\ Many a manly heart was throbbing for the coming morning light. \\

Far above the shining weapons hung their own beloved green. \\ Far above their shining weapons hung their own beloved green. \\

Well they fought for poor old Ireland, and full bitter was their fate \\
(Oh! what glorious pride and sorrow fill the name of Ninety-Eight). \\
Yet, thank God, e'en still are beating hearts in manhood's burning noon, \\
Who would follow in their footsteps, at the risin' of the moon! \\
At the rising of the moon, at the risin' of the moon, \\
Who would follow in their footsteps, at the risin' of the moon. \\
