lirik lagu frank harte - saxon's shilling
[verse 1]
hark, the martial tramp is heard
the march of soldier’s fife and drummin’
eyes are staring, hearts are stirred
for bold recruits the brave they’re comin’
ribbons flaunt and feathers gay;
the sights and sounds they’re surely thrillin’
dazzled village youths today
will flock to take the saxon shillin’
[verse 2]
ye whose spirits would not yield
in peace to parish tyrants longer
and ye, who wear the villain brow
and ye, who pine in hopeless hunger
fools, without the brave man’s faith
all slaves and starvеlings who are willin’
to sell themsеlves in shame and death
take now that blood~stained saxon shillin’
[verse 3]
ere you from your mountains go
to feel the scourge of foreign fever
swear to serve the faithless foe
who lures you from your home forever
swear henceforth his tool to be
to slaughter, trained by ceaseless drillin’
honour, home and liberty
abandoned for a blood~stained shillin’
[verse 4]
go to find, ‘mid crime and toil
the doom to which such guilt is hurried
and go to leave on india’s soil
your bones to bleach, accursed, unburied
go to slay the just and brave
whose wrongs with wrath the world are fillin’
and go to slay each brother slave
or scorn that blood~stained saxon shillin’
[verse 5]
irishmen, why should you bleed
to fill the tide of british glory
aiding despots in their greed
who’ve changed our green so oft to gory?
none but those who wish to see
the n0blest k!lled and the meanest k!llin’
and true hearts severed from the free
would ever take a saxon shillin’
[verse 6]
irishmen reserve your strength
until the hour of glorious duty
when freedom’s light will shine again
on our land of bravery and beauty
bribes and threats we’ll heed no more
let naught but justice make you willin’
to leave your own dear irish shore
and never again take a saxon shillin’
