‘God save Ireland!’ said the heroes; ‘God save Ireland’, say they all: Whether on the scaffold high Or the battlefield we die, Oh, what matter when for Erin dear we fall.
Timothy Daniel Sullivan Quotes
High upon the gallows tree Swung the noble-hearted three By the vengeful tyrant stricken in their bloom; But they met him face to face With the courage of their race, And they went with souls undaunted to their doom.

About
He was a member of the Home Rule League, supporting Charles Stewart Parnell in the 1880 general election, being "convinced that without self-government there could never be peace, prosperity or contentment in Ireland". He joined the Irish Parliamentary Party when it was established in 1882. When the party split in 1891 he became an Anti-Parnellite until the Nationalist factions were reunited in 1900.
