    Though its ruined walls are overhung
    With greenest of ivy most grand
    Where mass it was once celebrated
    In Kilcommon the charming townsland
    3
    There is a bridge for centuries [?] errected
    Its length over one hundred yards
    On the past to out last habituation
    that lonely and silent churchyard
    Where our friend and relations
    There eyes have long closed
    And it's now in this churchyard
    They lie in repose
    4
    We were robbed of our chapel long long ago
    All by a red cornels command
    And by a cursed bod of yeomen
    With vegngeance [?] they came to our land
    Our restments they tore from our alter
    But our sperges agains them did stand
    For God in his love did protect them
    In Killcommon, the charming townsland.
