Fight For The Right Poem by Mai Murphy Venn

Rest in peace all ye of 1916
You severed your country well
Now as historians speak in words
All of your stories they shall tell

Michael O'Hanrahan brave and true
Born in New Ross, live in Carlow to.
He was a writer of books I have you know
Founder of the Gaelic League in Carlow

Rest in peace all ye of 1916
You severed your country well
Now as historians speak in words
All of your stories they shall tell

A 100 year since the Easter Rising obtain the name
Ireland is their country, Freedom was there aim
All that they suffer in the cause of Irish liberty
Was it in vain? Was it worth it, is our republic free?

Rest in peace all ye of 1916
You severed your country well
Now as historians speak in words
All of your stories they shall tell

There no one in command now and the Dail is quite
We are waiting for a leader to come into our sight
Someone who loves the Irish nation and will do it right
To treat the people equal or we will take up the fight

Rest in peace all ye of 1916
You severed your country well
Now as historians speak in words
All of your stories they shall tell
