  1. Michael Dwyer

    Come all you sons of Erin's Isle,
    There is none can help admire
    This gallant stand for liberty
    Made by brave Michael Dwyer.
    He fought for life at Glendalough,
    Where-in those lines shall tell,
    Where at his hand two soldiers
    And a base informer fell.
    He faced the hills for Glenmalure
    And quickly made his way,
    And in St Kevin's rocky Bed
    For weeks he safely lay.
