- They camped along the abbey wall
Amidst the clustering trees
As fierce the English bugles rang
Resounded on the breeze
Still down each slope the rebels formed
With wild and ringing cheer
While fast in live of battle form
Old Humbert's grenadiers. The flags of France and Ireland waved
Serene above that Host
Whilst here and there each patriot brave
Stands steadily at his post
Amidst the trees of Union wood
Pikes glittering near and far
Blades that have drunk of Saxon blood
At far famed Castlebar.Old Leyney sends her boldest sons
To strike for the old land
While curled swords and scythes and guns
Gleam amidst the mustering band
From Sligo town to Geevagh heights
They gathered near and far
Brave hearted that never shirked to fight(continues on next page)- Informant
