“Seo é an tamhrán a scríobh Sean Sheeran fé'n Díshealbhú.”
(I)Glangevlin thou hast witnessed a scene of grief and woe,
Extermination swept our lands a few short days ago,
When Angley's cursed troops all came armed ruthlessly
To confiscate and devestate a struggling tenantry

"The wolf is in the fold"
Saint Patrick's sons in thousands ran they were always firm and bold,
Each maid and man inside of Glan, they came so firm and true

They assembled in their thousands and all came to a man
To sympatise with the evicted, and the noble men of Glan.(continues on next page)
