1. As we gather in the chapel Here in Old Kilmainham Jail I think about these past few days, Oh will they say we've failed. 2. From our schooldays they have told us We must yearn for liberty Yet all I want in this dark place Is to have you here wlth me. Refrain: O Grace just hold me in your arms And let this moment linger, they take me out at dawn and I will die 3. 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.

4. 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. 5. But when Padhraic called me to his side Down in the GPO I had to leave my own sick bed, To him I had to go. Refrain: 6. Now as the dawn is breaking, my heart is breaking too On this May morn as I walk out My thoughts will be of you. 7. And I'll write some words upon the wall So everyone wlll know I love so much that I could see His blood upon the rose. Refrain:
