“Oh! then tell me, Sean O'Farrell, tell me why you hurry so?”
“Hush, a while, just hush and listen,” and his cheeks were all a-glow.
“I bear orders from the Captain, get you ready quick and soon.
For the pikes1 must be together at the rising of the moon!”
“Oh! then tell me, Sean O'Farrell, where the gath’ring is to be?”
“In the old spot by the river, right-well known to you and me.
One more word for signal token, whistle up the marching tune.
With your pike upon your shoulder, by the rising of the moon.”
There beside the singing river that dark mass of men were seen,
Far above the shining weapons hung their own immortal green.
“Death to ev’ry foe and traitor! Forward! Strike the marching tune,
And, hurrah, my boys, for freedom! 'Tis the rising of the moon.”
Written by: Roger Emerson
