A Nation Once Again ye una canta, escrita arredol de 1840 por Thomas Davis (1814 - 1845). Davis estió lo fundador d'un mobimiento irlandés cuyo ochetibo final yera a independenzia d'Irlanda.

Ista canta ye o primer exemplo d'o chenero de mosica rebelde irlandesa. A canzión narra o suenio de una Irlanda libre. A letra enzuriza, anque con menos intensidat que atras cantas rebeldes, á os irlandeses á lebantar-sen e luitar por a suya tierra.

Ha estato cantata por muitos cantaires e grupos irlandeses, como por exemplo John McCormack, The Clancy Brothers, The Dubliners e tamién por Wolfe Tones en 1972, Poxy Boggards, The Irish Tenors (John McDermott, Ronan Tynan, Anthony Kearns) e Sean Conway.

En 2002, "A Nation Once Again" estió botata como a canta más popular seguntes o serbizio de botazión d'oyents d'a BBC benzindo á atros grans exitos como Vande Mataran u Dil Dil Pakistan.

  When boyhood's fire was in my blood
  I read of ancient freemen,
  For Greece and Rome who bravely stood,
  Three hundred men and three men;
  And then I prayed I yet might see
  Our fetters rent in twain,
  And Ireland, long a province, be.
  A Nation once again!

  A Nation once again,
  A Nation once again,
  And lreland, long a province, be
  A Nation once again!

  And from that time, through wildest woe,
  That hope has shone a far light,
  Nor could love's brightest summer glow
  Outshine that solemn starlight;
  It seemed to watch above my head
  In forum, field and fane,
  Its angel voice sang round my bed,
  A Nation once again!

  It whisper'd too, that freedom's ark
  And service high and holy,
  Would be profaned by feelings dark
  And passions vain or lowly;
  For, Freedom comes from God's right hand,
  And needs a Godly train;
  And righteous men must make our land
  A Nation once again!

  So, as I grew from boy to man,
  I bent me to that bidding
  My spirit of each selfish plan
  And cruel passion ridding;
  For, thus I hoped some day to aid,
  Oh, can such hope be vain?
  When my dear country shall be made
  A Nation once again!
