Bodenstown Churchyard - The Wolfe Tones[00:00:00]

In Bodenstown churchyard there is a green grave [00:00:09]

And wildly around it the winter winds rave[00:00:16]

Small shelter I ween are the ruined walls there[00:00:22]

When the storm sweeps down on the plains of Kildare [00:00:29]

Once I lay on that sod it lies over Wolfe Tone[00:00:38]

And thought how he perished in prison alone [00:00:45]

His friends unavenged and his country unfreed[00:00:52]

Oh bitter I said is the patriots meed [00:00:58]

For in him the heart of a woman combined[00:01:07]

With heroic spirit and a governing mind[00:01:14]

A martyr for Ireland his grave has no stone[00:01:21]

His name seldom mentioned and his virtues unknown [00:01:28]

I was woke from my dreams of the voices untread[00:01:36]

Of a band who came into the home of the dead[00:01:43]

They come into no corpse and they carried no stone [00:01:50]

And they stopped when they came to[00:01:57]

The grave of Wolfe Tone [00:02:00]

Oh my heart overflowed and I clasped his old hand [00:02:05]

And I blessed him [00:02:12]

And blessed every one of his band[00:02:14]

Sweet sweet tis to find that such faith can remain[00:02:19]

In the cause and the man so long vanquished and slain[00:02:26]

In Bodenstown churchyard there is a green grave [00:02:35]

And freely around it let winter winds rave[00:02:42]

Far better they suit him the ruin and the gloom[00:02:48]

Till Ireland a nation can build him a tomb[00:02:57]
