Local Songs (continued)
“Daughter of Mellifont and fair citeaux,”
(continued from previous page)Hangs mute and silence broods upon its chordsIII
Thread softly for the place is holy ground,
And saintly memories haunt its cloisters grey,
Of Kings who hither came to fast and pray,
And kept dim vigils 'neath the moon's pale round,
Who hence to God with joy eternal crowned
For the brief joys of earth's transitory day
Immortal life and heavenly riches found"This as also written by Patrick Coleman.Local Songs
“Young men of a true Irish nation, who follow the tricoloured fold”
