“As the Winter winds blew wildly on a cold December night . . .”
(continued from previous page)to see the mother of the brave
As her two darling sons were laid to rest
neath the bosom of the grave
IX
Those bodies nursed with tender care now
deep beneath their God
Their spirits fought to fight their foes
flies freely before their God
In the graveyard of Shan Auglish those
two young heroes lie
They shed their blood for Ireland and
they died for you and I
X
They laid down all on earth they had,
suffered all those pains
To strike for you another blow to break
those foreign chains
If you be true to England obeying her
precious laws
To agony our Irish martyrs who perished
for the cause
Let those words ring in your ears let them echo o'er the main
To let them see that those precious men
were not sacrificed in vain.(continues on next page)
