  1. Old Poem - 1918 (continued)

    (continued from previous page)
    The bold sergeants face got as white as the snow
    He bade her good bye, and away did he go
    Saying what is the use when a mate of the kin
    Will fight for the banner white orange, and green.
    The very next morning in Tipperary town
    This fair Irish maid from the Galtys came down
    Her heart it was breaking with anger and pain
    For that morning Mc Canny[?] had died for Sinn Fein.
