I have a couple of verses: The grass grows green upon the paths That once were trodden bare Beneath the feet of stalwart men And colleens fresh and fair Dismal crumbling roofless walls Marks where their homes had been And where their parents knelt and prayed Through many a fearful night That God might grant their gallant sons To carry on the fight Thanks, Quokka |

Cheers, Quokka |
