- (ar lean ón leathanach roimhe)I heard an oration for those gone to rest
I saw in the people expressions sincere
The throng sympathising with many a tear.

I asked of myself when will Erin be free
Must we keep beholding the sights that we see
All sadly I thought of the six who in bloom
Of manhood's sweet moments they went to their doom
And standing in Crosstown's fine churchyard to day.
I gazed on the Slaney that flower of its way
With bardic impulses I felt I should weave
A bunch of green memories to think of each grave
A tribute to Erin her sons good and true
God sent her a freedom for me and for you.
