Speed the joyful news of victory from Dungannon to Gweedore, / Let the shout of triumph echo 'mid the cliffs of dark Benmore, / Let the flame that gleams on Sperrin light a flame on every strand, / Till one mighty blaze shall tell it to all men throughout the land.
The haughty Saxon boasted he would ravage broad Tyrone, / And lay our fields in ashes, and make our flocks his own, / Nor hold his hand 'till humbled each Irish kerne should kneel / To England's monarch only, and not to Hugh O'Neill.
