That withered many a gale.
And my stroke will be light as the lightening's
Flash
That leaps from the thunder's flail.
O, my feet shall be swift as the white skin drift
On the way in Wintry weather
As we run in line through the glad sunshine
"On the trail of the whirling leather.
Kilbride, Killbride ye leaped into fray
Killbride, Killbride, how gloriously that day.
Killbride, Killbride a stubborn fight ye fought;
Killbride, Killbride, what wonder works ye wrought."
