《Bodenstown Churchyard》歌词

[00:00:00] Bodenstown Churchyard - The Wolfe Tones

[00:00:09] In Bodenstown churchyard there is a green grave

[00:00:16] And wildly around it the winter winds rave

[00:00:22] Small shelter I ween are the ruined walls there

[00:00:29] When the storm sweeps down on the plains of Kildare

[00:00:38] Once I lay on that sod it lies over Wolfe Tone

[00:00:45] And thought how he perished in prison alone

[00:00:52] His friends unavenged and his country unfreed

[00:00:58] Oh bitter I said is the patriots meed

[00:01:07] For in him the heart of a woman combined

[00:01:14] With heroic spirit and a governing mind

[00:01:21] A martyr for Ireland his grave has no stone

[00:01:28] His name seldom mentioned and his virtues unknown

[00:01:36] I was woke from my dreams of the voices untread

[00:01:43] Of a band who came into the home of the dead

[00:01:50] They come into no corpse and they carried no stone

[00:01:57] And they stopped when they came to

[00:02:00] The grave of Wolfe Tone

[00:02:05] Oh my heart overflowed and I clasped his old hand

[00:02:12] And I blessed him

[00:02:14] And blessed every one of his band

[00:02:19] Sweet sweet tis to find that such faith can remain

[00:02:26] In the cause and the man so long vanquished and slain

[00:02:35] In Bodenstown churchyard there is a green grave

[00:02:42] And freely around it let winter winds rave

[00:02:48] Far better they suit him the ruin and the gloom

[00:02:57] Till Ireland a nation can build him a tomb
