the londonderry air

• irlanda'nın, ama özellikle kuzey irlanda'nın milli marşı. (yasaklanmıştır.) ayrıca irlanda'dan çeşitli ülkelere göç eden yurttaşlar arasında da popülerdir. sözleri mi, buyrun:
  
  would god i were the tender apple blossom
  that floats and falls from off the twisted bough
  to lie and faint within your silken bosom
  within your silken bosom as that does now.
  or would i were a little burnish'd apple
  for you to pluck me, gliding by so cold
  while sun and shade you robe of lawn will dapple
  your robe of lawn, and you hair's spun gold.
  yea, would to god i were among the roses
  that lean to kiss you as you float between
  while on the lowest branch a bud uncloses
  a bud uncloses, to touch you, queen.
  nay, since you will not love, would i were growing
  a happy daisy, in the garden path
  that so your silver foot might press me going
  might press me going even unto death.

• "londonderry" ismi aslında irlandalılarca "derry" olarak bilinen kente işgalci ingilizler tarafından 1613 yılında konulmuştur.
  irlandalılar kenti "londonderry" olarak anmaz. bu isim değişikliği, kuzey irlanda'nın "ingilizleştirilmesi"nin sembolü sayılabilir.
