    I'm sure you'd not their equals find around the shamrock shore
    VII
    Five hundred of our peasant girls this grand procession joined
    For glorious deeds our Irish girls were never left behind -
    The part they played on Limerick's walls two hundred years ago,
    They would repeat to-morrow if necessity forced them so.

    I'd ask you each and all to join your prayers with mine
    That the sinless soul of Heraghty in bliss may ever shine,
    Mong kindred spirits in heaven above, before God's holy throne
    Where wordly sufferings terminate and sorrows are unknown.
