| John O'Brien
Have you seen the tidy cottage in the straggling, dusty street, Where the roses swing their censers by the door? Have you heard the happy prattle and the tramp of tiny feet As the sturdy youngsters romp around the floor? Did you wonder why the wiree comes to sing his sweetest song? Did the subtle charm of home upon you fall? Did you puzzle why it haunted you the while you passed along? There's a Little Irish Mother there; that's all. Notes: From The Little Irish Mother |
| Patrick Pearse
Life springs from death; and from the graves of patriot men and women spring living nations. |
| George Bernard Shaw
The shot Irishmen will now take their places beside Emmet and the Manchester Martyrs in Ireland, and beside the heroes of Poland and Serbia and Belgium in Europe; and nothing in heaven or earth can prevent it. Notes: in a letter to the Daily News May 1916 |
| W.B. Yeats
I write it out in a verse - MacDonagh and MacBride And Connolly and Pearse Now and in time to be, Wherever green is worn, Are changed, changed utterly: A terrible beauty is born. Notes: Easter, 1916 |
| Samuel Ferguson
I'd wed you without herds, without money or rich array, And I'd wed you on a dewy morn at day-dawn gray! Notes: From Cashel of Munster |
