- A popular Graignamanagh song.At peace with God, and neighbours we,
All humbly sought to toil dwell,
Till they let loose the bloody Yeos,
Like demons from the pit of hell.
When hell-hounds tear the lambs and sheep,
Could shepherds then but preach and weep?
With maids, and wives, and children flung,
Outraged and bleeding tortured - hung.
Insulted, plundered, raging, sore -
Oh, God! could men put up with more?(continues on next page)- Collector
