    Bright, bright was the Moon.

    Bright, bright was the moon when the
    bold Shielmalier, un
    Undaunted by bayonet a stranger to fear
    Sprang up from his heather-couch,
    sparkling with dew,
    To muster with Grogan, Hay, Harvey and Keogh,
    He paused not to take a last look
    at hia cot,
    Or the loved ones that clung to that favourite spot
    Yet a tear dimmed his eyes, as he bounded along
    When he heard through the copse wood
    his Mary's sweet song.
