Old Song
“O Séamus have patience”
Seamus McManus from Rantog was continually lamenting for his dead wife and the people composed a song in sympathy with him.
O Séamus have patience
For races and nations.
Like earths fairest pageants.
Bass on to decay.
O Seamus cease crying
For your wife will come back some day.
