1. Dermot Donn - Rapparee

   

   Roinn Roinn Postáil

   Adown the mountain strode the last of Breffni's Rapparees,
   His long black hair, defying care, was flying in the breeze;
   He says: "The priest will be to-day below on yon Mass Rock -
   I'll join them, and, if need there be, I'll guard him and his flock."

   Then down he went, and armed was brave Dermot to the teeth,
   "If England's sleuth-hounds come," he said,
   "I'll met them on the heath;
   They'll never touch our sagart dear, while I a gun can draw,
   I bid defiance here to-day to England and her law."

   He knelt while Mass was going on; the women shrugged and said,
   "We never thopught we'd see him here, for wild's the life he's led."
   But Dermot prayed most fervently, and told his Maker there,
   That if the foemen came to search they'd find a lion's lair.
