1. The Drumlish Affray of 1881

   

   Roinn Roinn Postáil

   1) January the 11th day in the year of 1881
   From home I recollected the story and for sometime I travelled on, as southwards I did then advance.
   A moving crowd had met my glance.
   I gazed upon them close and long
   Their march was quick, their number strong.
   Of course I did myself listen
   To what was going to occur
   And took no time my steps to choose
   Till I reached the place of rendezvous.
   Drumlish it was I must remark,
   So now I pray with patience hark,
   And what I seen and heard that day
   I will endeavour to portray.
   2) These staunch supporters of the crown
   With Royal Irish filled the town,
   And armed to the teeth they were they
   To strike civilians with dismay.
   Agast, astonished and amazed
   Upon their lines I gazed
   My feelings I did scrutinise
   To see could I believe my eyes,
   I thought perhaps that I might be
   Deluded thus by anarchy.
   Or some chimera much the same
