The New Invasions
1. Fáilte
Irish hospitality now
Means milking the stranger like a cow.
Welcome, welcome! More and more!
How much can I do you for?
See how a hero race can scrape and bow.
2. Sellout
Silent, without tuck of drum
Back the stubborn Teutons come.
Gaels impelled by need or greed
Sell their country with all speed.
And in that earth the hungry dead lie dumb.
