  1. (no title) (continued)

    It being on a Sunday morning early in the month of Spring, The rifle shots rang in our ears, the chapel bell did ring...

    (continued from previous page)
    There to enjoy a pleasant time, while other hearts feel sore.
    And that will be for years to come, down by the Shannon shore.

    (VI)
    And now to end this mournful rhyme, I have no more to say.
    The cave will be their monument, and that for many a day.
    May God reward those guileless souls, and blessings on them pour.
    Console their friends who miss them gone, down by the Shannon shore.
