The version of 'Nation Once Again' in the DT lacks Thomas Davis' final verse: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!A nation once again ...
