    Local Poets
    Composed by Patrick Higgins, Ballinamuck, Co. Longford
    You sturdy tillers of the soil
    That fertilized the barren sod
    And made it yield by sweat and toil
    Good fruits which were the gifts of god

    But tested muscle blood and bone
    And caused the bloom of life to fade
