   So they fell before the altar at their loving master's feet,
   With their brethren watching eagerly their coming home to greet,
   And the morning found them lying, faces turned to the sky.
   Telling truly hon St. Patrick taught his followers to die!

   And the heart whose deadly passion edged the keen and savage blade
   Durst his madness as an earthquake tearing through a forest glade;
   For Gilmore wandered wildly o'er the country far and wide
   With the maniac brand upon her till by heaven accursed, she died.

   How St. Kilian's name was honoured in the mystic German land,
   How the pilgrim read his history in cathedrals tall and grand,
   Sung the silvery bells of Wurtzburg in a peal of melody,
   Through the blue mist of the twilight as this tale was told to me.
