  2. Killeeneen Graveyard

    Share Share Post
    We have many places in Eirn's Isle
    Where peace reigns around
    And no contention is ever heard
    About a piece of ground,
    Where golden silence is supreme
    Yet all love it best
    For the agent ceases troubling
    And his tenants are at rest.
    No writ is heard upon this place
    And no Sheriff's band is seen.
    No man from it is sent to jail
    Although it is in Killeeneen.
    Beyond life this abode is found
    Across the vale of tears
    Where all are equal company
    And have no worldly fears.
