- (continued from previous page)saintly time.
Of your founder, good Saint Killian, life devoted, death sublime.Far from Breffni, far from Fenagh doth the martyred Killian lie.
Where Wurzburg Cathedral grandly towers neath the Franconian sky;
Dust of those who knew and loved him, grieving when he went away
Lies 'neath forty generations of true Gaelic Breffnian clay.Here I place the wreath remembrance o'er each veiled and lifeless breast,
Husband, wife and brother, lying in their death-uniting rest,
Sleep, dear kindred, peace be with you, free from earthly woes and fears
Where your people's dust has mingled for long centuries of years.- Collector
