   Poem
   And the priest like a wolf had a price on his head,
   To be tracked like a beast, caught live or dead.
   5
   But fierce as fire though the foeman's hate,
   And bitter and cruel the martyr's fate,
   The priest was known
   In Inishowen;
   And Mass was said, and in mountain and glen
   The Redeemer's message was given to men.
   6
   And loved amongst all, the best was he,
   Who bore the name, Friar Hegarty,
   By a cliff near the wave,
   In a lonesome cave,
   He had his refuge, and was safe, content,
   Till a varlet's greed the soldiers sent.
   7
   In the night they sped from Buncrana's town,
   With sabre and bayonet to bear him down -
   But hark, the cry:
   "Up, Father, fly!"
   Rings wild and clear o'er the billows boom,
   And a signal light cleaves the night's deep gloom.
