 One speech beyond their memory

Binds us together still,

One dream of home wherein we see

River and sea and hill.

When in the night-time Fingal's peers

Fight their old wars again,

The blood of twice two thousand years

Leaps high in every vein.

Old songs that waked King Arthur's knights

Stir in our memory yet.

Old tales of olden heroes fights

That we cannot forget,

To die as Fingal's warriors died

The great men long ago,

Breton and Gael stand side by side

Against the ancient foe.
