   I
   Who was he at Kilmallock, the brave hearted stranger,
   Who daringly breasted the fire of the foe
   Like a veteran enured to the battle's grim danger
   He fought till the red hail of death laid him low
   Nameless he fell on the frozen sward[?] dying,
   No kind hand to soothe him of bear him away
   The dreary March wind his sad litany sighing
   His death couch and pillow the blood moistened clay.
   When the brave few who struck for their old land returned
   Outnumb'id not routed betrayed not defeated
   Their gallant young comrade who fought so elated
   Pour'd out his hearts blood where behind them he lay.

   Govy and cold by the wayside they found him
   Beneath the bleak freezing sky lifeless and lone
   He wore the loved badge of the Virgin around him
   But the name of the patriot to all was unknown
   Was he one of those whom our flunk eyes so loyal,
   With the foul name assassins so shamefully banned
   Whose faithful young bosoms but longed for the trial
   To shed their dear blood for their suffering land
   But prouder your fate gallant lover of Erin
   To die for your country her native green wearing
   Than bear the high name that some traitors are bearing
   With the gold of the spoiler polluting your hand
