- (continued from previous page)I thought of long ago
I saw the streets o'oergrown with grass
Their homes made desolate
And sadly oer my spirits passed
The thoughts of ninety eightI stood upon the sacred ground
Where Irish heroes sleep
Who gave their lives their homes to save
Their souls to God to keep
They gave their lives for to regain
Their rights usurpers took
They would have freedom or a grave
At leave of Ballinamuck.I saw the flags of green and gold
Unfurl to display
The feelings of both young and old
Assembled there that day
From far and near to celebrate
Their brands and banners took
In memory of the ninety eight
Who died at Ballinamuck.(continues on next page)- Collector
