    O'er the grave where our brave Fr. Healen was laid.

    'Twas he had the heart for to dare and to do,
    The star of our priesthood so noble and true,
    How cheerful he died to give Erin her own
    On the bright Sunny side of Kilcommon my Home.

    The letters all hope until liberty smile,
    And let us all be for the Emerald Isle,
    Till his own native flag o'er his grave shall be flown.
    And a monument raised in Kilcommon my Home.
    The priest here referred to was killed one night being out on a sick call. He fell off a side-car unknown to his driver about twenty six years ago.
