   For John O' Connor Day

   As he was by all regarded
   May he be by God rewarded
   And the Crown deserved awarded
   On that Celestial Day
   When manhood shall assemble
   To shudder, fear and tremble
   May mercy be extended
   To us and to "Shawn Day".
   The End.

   Patrick Robinson was a National Teacher, who lived in Loughfouder, Knocknagoshel, Co. Kerry. He was born in Co. Clare. He was regarded as a poet of outstanding merit by the people of the parish and his verses were very popular. He was endowed with a keen sense of humour and a very ready wit. Many patriot songs came from his pen and he also composed verses on others (current events) subjects of interest to the local people. Most of his songs were written down but many are not lost. All the songs that I have written here, of which he was the author, were obtained from Mr. Denis Collins, Loughfouder the poet's son-in-law, who has a copy of about a dozen of them. I wrote them from the copy
