In the chapel here in old Kilmainham Jail
they have told us we must yearn for liberty
All i want in this dark place is to have you here with me.
hold me in your arms and let this moment linger
at dawn and I will die
With all my love I place this wedding ring upon your finger
There won’t be time to share our love for we must say goodbye.
Now I know it’s hard for you my love to ever understand
The love I bear for these brave men, my love for this dear land
when the Padhraic called me to his side down in the GPO
Ito him I had to go
is dawn is breaking, my heart is breaking too,
On this May morn as I walk out my thoughts will be of you
I’ll write some words upon the wall so everyone will see
I love so much that I could see his blood upon the rose.
