    The Rosary was recited
    in Irish
    For the rest of young Marren
    the brave.
    And the numerous wreaths
    from chief mourners
    Were neatly placed o'er his grave
    The parting volley was
    fired 'mid silence
    The Last Post was sounded
    'mid tears
    May the soul of the brave
    rest in heaven,
    Who commanded the bold
    Volunteers.
    Found by Maire Ni Gaoithin,
    Blackfallow, Knockvicar, Boyle,
    from her father.
    Transcribed by a member of our volunteer transcription project.
