            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.
