Vampire Earth 04 – Valentine’s Rising – Knight, E.E

Book Preview

To those in uniform, past and present.

All along that singing river

A black mass of men was seen

And above their shining weapons

Hung their own beloved green

Death to every foe and traitor!

Whistle loud the marching tune

And Hurrah! me boys for freedom

Tis the rising of the moon

The rising of the moon

The rising of the moon

And Hurrah! me boys for freedom

‘Tis the rising of the moon

Well they fought for dear old Ireland

And full bitter was their fate

What a glorious pride and sorrow

Fills the name of ninety-eight

Yet thank God while hearts are beating fast

In manhood’s burning noon

We will follow in their footsteps

By the rising of the moon
