Commentary
W. P. Ryan, The Irish Literary Revival (1894), [Sullivan] a sunnyhearted minnesinger finding his way by troublous paths and stormy political windings. I doubt if any Irish singer is more popular than he by the Irish peasant’s chimney corner. Epics have died while ‘Deep in Canadian Woods’ is as popular as ever. [10]

W. B. Yeats, in Irish Literature ed. J. McCarthy (Washingon 1904): ‘The agrarian movement that followed produced little poetry, and of that little all is forgotten but a vehement poem by Fanny Parnell and a couple of songs by T. D. Sullivan, who is a good song-writer, though not, as the writer has read on an election placard, “one of the greatest poets who ever moved the heart of man.”’ (Vol. 3, p.xii.) See his further remarks on Nationalist verse in relation to ‘exacting conscience’.

Joseph Lee, The Modernisation of Ireland (1973): ‘The execution of the Manchester Martyrs (enthusiastically hanged for the accidental killing of a policeman in the attempt to rescue Kelly from the prison van) roused Irish public opinion to an extraordinary fervour. T. D. Sullivan wrote “God Save Ireland”, which served as the national anthem for fifty years, while the 23 November, the “feast” of the “martyrs”, soon superseded St. Patrick’s Day as the national political Feastday.’ (p.57.)

Quotations
God Save Ireland!” said the heroes, / “God Save Ireland!” said they all. / “Whether on the scaffold high / Or on the battlefield we die,/O, what matter when for Ireland dear we fall!”’ The song was written in response to the execution of the Manchester Martyrs and based on the exclamation of Edward Condon in the dock. There is a parody of it in the 4th Book of Finnegans Wake (Viz., ‘Goldsafe firelump’, &c.)

God save Ireland!  

High upon the gallows tree swung the noble-hearted three.
By the vengeful tyrant stricken in their bloom;
But they met him face to face, with the courage of
their race,
And they went with souls undaunted to their doom.

Chorus:
“God save Ireland!” said the heroes “God save Ireland” said they all.
.
Whether on the scaffold high
Or the battlefield we die,
Oh, what matter when for Erin dear we fall!

Girt around with cruel foes, still their courage proudly rose,
For they thought of hearts that loved them far and near;

Of the millions true and brave o'er the ocean's swelling wave,
And the friends in holy Ireland ever dear.

(Chorus)

Climbed they up the rugged stair, rang their voices out in prayer,
Then with England's fatal cord around them cast,
Close beside the gallows tree kissed like brothers lovingly,
True to home and faith and freedom to the last.

(Chorus)

Never till the latest day shall the memory pass away,
Of the gallant lives thus given for our land;
But on the cause must go, amidst joy and weal and woe,
Till we make our Isle a nation free and grand.

(Chorus)

Note: The song is incorporates the lines ‘whether on the scaffold high / Or on battlefield we die’ from “The Place where Man should Die”, by Michael Joseph Barry [q.v.], published in The Nation in 1843. Sullivan’s version was published in The Nation(7 Dec. 1867), a day before the Martyrs’ funeral and set the new one the tune of “Tramp! Tramp! Tramp!” from the Union side in the American Civil War.
