  1. Kickham's Grave - by A Drangan Boy

    Share Share Post
    after Davis a long way
    (written on the occasion of the second anniversary of his death)
    By a Drangan Boy.

    In the valley of Compsey there is a green grave
    Above it the shadows of Slievenamon wave
    A pleasing pall o'er the lov'd tenant inside
    In the shade of the mountain his "darling and pride"
    Tipperary stands round it to honour once more
    The hero that sleeps there, the pure life that's o'er.
