BRAVE ANNE DEVLIN by Seamus Robinson 
Anne Devlin came to Dublin, In the year Eighteen-and-three, To help Bold Robert Emmet, Old Ireland for to free. 
But the pikes they were defeated, By England's bloodied steel, And Yeomen caught Anne Devlin, In the house at Butterfield. 
(chorus) O where is Robert Emmet? Where did that rebel go? Come tell us and we'll free you -Anne Devlin answered "No". 
O where is Robert Emmet? Where did that rebel go? Come tell us and we'll free you --Anne Devlin answered "No". 
They stabbed her with their bayonets, And Anne with blood ran red -They tortured and half-hanged her, 'Til life had nearly fled. 
For nigh three years they kept her, In cruel Kilmainham Jail -And tho' they broke her body, Her brave heart did not fail. 
She lived her life in hardship, In poverty and pain -And Death came as a mercy, To Little Elbow Lane. 
Eight and forty years had passed, Since Emmet's hope lay cold -But faithful to her comrades still, Anne Devlin never told.
