          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.

          Verse by Pádraig Ó Treasaigh (Laois):

          'We meet again, the master and the student
          The one a sadder but a wiser man, the other still imprudent
          But age and youth, have one same thought
          That Erin's soul shall ne'er be bought.
          Soon may her Freedom's star arise
          And soon may be her foe's demise.
          Then you and I from fetters free
          Shall haste to Leix and Offaly.
          But we together shall come again
          As free, unfettered, unshackled men.
          And then we'll fill and quaff the glass
          That ours and Erin's dawn has come at last.'
