    Ere yet was won, to God he's gone
    Brave Shaun from Corranmore
    IV
    A loving mother watched in vain,
    To see him come victorioius
    She kneeling prayed, but not again
    Will he return glorious
    An angel whispered from the sky,
    "Come to us evermore."
    For freedom's sake, he went to die
    Brave Shaun from Corranmore.

    Lament for Pádraig Pearse
    told by John Mulhern, the author
    I

    We leave to God thy every strain
    And into him to guard thy shade,
    And all thou boreth that was pain,
    Thou didst endure for nation's made

    II

    Uplifted by thy mighty hand,
    Immortal guardian of a land,
    Historic annals crowned with light,
    Shine jewels of thy noble need.
