    With stern-set faces kneel
    Where they eagerly gaze
    to the plains beyond
    On a moving line of steel
    On a line of men in battle array
    With helmet and warring plume
    Spurring on hard to that fatal pass
    To meet a well earned doom
    From the hands of our
    gallant Wexford men
    Before their fiercest charge to fall
    Yes a gallant foe awaits them there,
    Behind Ballyellis wall
    Oh many the blazing
    cabin illumes their grand
    advance
