- (continued from previous page)197Captain Bland (Continued)By Abbeylaras' ancient walls
Where monks in bygone days
Made the Abbey's cloisters ring
With song of prayer and praise
By Old Kilbride and Ballinacross
They gallop swift and grand
Up Barrack St by Cronins Fort
The coach of Captain Bland. The barracks gates till open wide
The steeds prance in once more
The gates are shut and all is still
The midnight ride is o'er
But old men say that trouble great
Comes swift on our land
When'er the headless horseman drives
