Description

Ireland personified as a warrior woman, "Erin," with a banner and sword. Includes the following poem or lyric: "From Erin's soil the Saxon foe / In shame shall be forever driven; / From Erin's sons who bear the woe, / The tyrants chain shall soon be riven; / And Erin's emerald isle shall be, / The Gem of Freedom in the sea. / Then up and arm at Erin's call, / Ye FENIAN sons of Irish sires; / On every hill and mountain tall, / Arise and light your signal fires, / And swear to win with heart and hand, / The Freedom of your Native land."
