  1. Song - The Shades of Cloverhill

    Share Share Post
    You genius of this nation and you poets of the Globe.
    I hope you will all pay attention until I the truth unfold.
    Concerning sons of Irish Pat
    Who never yet did fail
    For to agree in loyalty like sons of Granuale.
    On the 14th of October in the year of 33
    as I did rove through shady groves some pleasure for to see.
    In a silent shade as I sat down
    For to employ my quill
    To praise that splindid meeting
    That I saw near Cloverhill
    Three hundred was the number that assembled at the call.
    Their perjured foes for to defy and cause their sad downfall.
