“The following notes are taken from a Scrap Book of a prisoner names M. Fitzgerald...”
(continued from previous page)But full of manly pride
To the foemen they replied
And Liam nobly died in Aherlow.
Gentle and kind was he.
He loved his country
And died that she’d be free, in Aherlow.Let us to heaven pray, that soon we’ll see the day,
When in love and peace we’ll stray thro’ Aherlow.
And to our children tell
As we roam thro’ hill and dell,
How Lynch and Lacey fell in Aherlow.By Francis C. Ward
Tintown No. 2.If Christ came back and such words spoke
“No land must bare the tyrants yoke”.
He’d have to stand, The Lamb of God,
At dawn before the firing squad,
The martyr's way that leads to God,
The way that Pearse and Mellows trod.
By P. O’Mara, Brosna, Roscrea.
