    Also the boy they call
    Alf a harper Gold and true.
    I trust in God that I may see
    Ere the coming year is o'er
    Our Gaelic pastimes fast increase
    Throughout ould Erins shore.
    May heaven be their resting place when their days of toil are o'er.
    And their names appear in history as in the days of yore
    This song was composed by Christopher Ennis, Rathangan, in the year nineteen hundred and eight.
