    That had been dyed in gore
    I could n'er allure this young heart purse
    That your offer I eyemore
    Neath a fallen [?] my Irish boy
    Is fighting on the plain
    May God above may send back my love
    Down by the river Fane.
    Sir do you say that in Africa-y
    A gory grave he fills
    That no more he'll roam
    On Éirens shore by mountain lake or hills
    Its vain to cry for my Irish boy
    When God had closed his eyes
    But I'll be true till I meet you
    Above in Paradise
    (The "Bard" of Callanberg)
