    Ne'er sent its sons neath England's flags.
    To. fight, I'll fight alone
    For liberty, the land of stripes and stars
    I'll seek and try to do one brave man's part full well I'll strive to do or die"

    'Neath Cuban sun this Wicklow man
    Fought well. and swiftly ran
    To unfurl the flag of liberty.
    To do as always can
    This race whene'er they see a way
    To aid the weakest side.
    Brave Myler go his death hurt
    Thank heaven at home he died
    "Irene"
    I was told this story by my mother
    Transcribed by a member of our volunteer transcription project.
