    (continued from previous page)
    While the shannon's bright waters shall mirror the moon,
    And true hearts are throbbing round time-honored Cloone,
    While green grows the grass o'er the patriot's grave,
    We'll honour bold Reynolds and Gannon the brave.
    Reynolds and Gannon were Land Leaguers who were imprisoned for their activity against "felonious landlordism". The poem was written while the author was an ecclesiastical student in St. Patrick's College, Carlow, 1881.
    Transcribed by a member of our volunteer transcription project.
