        Verse transcribed by M. Galvin, Tintown No 3 Camp:

        'Silent and cold thou art now at rest
        'Neath the sanctified sod, in the land thou loved best
        Thro' tears and thro' sighs we think of the same
        That the traitors have placed on Ireland's fair name
        Oh! Rory O Connor thy name and thy story
        Are engraved in our hearts and crowned there with glory.
        Tho' thy pulse has stopped beating thy shade is to-day
        With the loved ones who perished that old
        Ireland might say
        Tho' grim death awaits us we'll have not a sigh
        For our own motto is Freedom for that Freedom we'll die
        On the green sod of Erin, our life's blood will flow
        Until Ireland a nation conquers the foe.'

        Verse transcribed by M. Galvin, Hut 5, Tintown No. 3 Camp,

        'Keep me in your memory
        I dare not ask for more
        We may not meet as we have met
        When prison life is o'er
        Your path and mine may be
        In future far apart
        Time may bring a change of scenes
        But not a change of heart.
