I don't see anything here about the other stanza, which has come to be one of my favorites; I have only heard it in the movie O Brother, Where Art Thou (starting at 1:55 in this YouTube):

O how glad and happy when we meet...
No more cold iron shackles on my feet...

Have not yet figured out who wrote them or what their copyright status is. I was not yet aware of this stanza when I did my Esperanto version; will have to remember to add it in...
