Song (continued)
“Bonfires blazed along the hillsides; There was music on the shore.”
(continued from previous page)He wrote a note up to Droumleigh.
To bring Tim Driscoll down
Costigan from Marino, and Crowley from the square,
They went upstairs in Cantys
To rise the milk I'd swear.II We must be up and doing,
For a lesson we must teach,
To the taxer of our fireplace
And the milk that comes from Beach
Success to Jerry Cremin
It's the man that stayed away.
Then they tried to tax the babies
And to make us drink black tea. This poem was written by a man named Charlie Dennis who lived in Seshin.
