    “The night fell dark on Limerick...”

    Share Share Post
    The night fell dark on Limerick and all the land was still.
    As for the foe in ambush we lay beside the hill,
    Long impatiently we waited to rush upon our prey,
    With noble Sarsfield at our head before the breaking day.
    From Dublin came for the foeman, with
    Transcribed by a member of our volunteer transcription project.
