A Song (continued)
“Have you ever been to Oola,”
(continued from previous page)The rebels were burning Belfast goods,
Which they raided of some train,
We visited the burning never thinking twas a plan,
Till we heard the shout and the shots rang out
At the Oola Black-and-Tan.
IV
The sergeant's wound was fatal,
With Mr. Griffin by his side,
The rifles clicked,
Mr. Griffin kicked,
And then stretched out and died".This poem was written by Miceál Ó Donabáin, Ubla, Co. Luimnig
