  1. Pat O'Donnell's Vision (Fragment)

    Share Share Post
    One night as O'Donnell in prison lay sleeping,
    He had a grand vision which filled him with joy,
    A grave looking queen to his bedside came weeping,
    Saying, "cheer up O'Donnell, my brave Irish boy,
    For I'm Granuaile and I'll liberate you,
    I'll gain your release if there's blood in your veins,
    For the shooting of Carey I congratulate you,
    But I'm grieved for to see you in cold prison chains."
    O'Donnell arose in a great consternation,
    He eagerly gazed on that emblem-clad queen,
    Saying, "Madam, you give me such grand consolation,
    You must be a friend to old Erin the green."
