    Ballinamuck 4 September 1798
    VI
    To Ballinamuck they marched that night,
    The pride of all the land,
    And nobly fought there next morn,
    With Humbert in command.
    Out from the graves of that martyred sod
    Their spirits ever look
    For liberty and freedom's sun,
    To shine around Ballinamuck.
    Composed by Patrick Flood, Cloncoose, Ballinamuck, Co. Longford
    Written by Michael Finnegan. Std VI

    Local Poets
    Composed by Patrick Higgins, Ballinamuck, Co. Longford
    You sturdy tillers of the soil
    That fertilized the barren sod
    And made it yield by sweat and toil
    Good fruits which were the gifts of god
    But these good fruits were not their own
    For the improvements that you made
    But tested muscle blood and bone
    And caused the bloom of life to fade
