    It reached for two miles long
    And men of all persuasions
    Come to join in that vast throng
    Besides his wife and family
    For him they all will pine
    His loss was very grievous
    He was only thirty-nine
    They mourn for E Lord Edward
    And Robert Emmet sore.
    And martyrs for their country
    Who died on a foreign shore
    The last one was at Mitchel's town
    A silent grave to fill
    A thorough true born Irishman
    Brave noble Manderville.

    They knelt around the cross divine
    the matron and the maid;
    They bowed before Redemption's sign
    And fervently they prayed
    Three hundred fair and helpless ones
    Whose crime was this alone
    Their valiant husbands sires and sons
    Had battled for their own.
