Title A name given to the resource Lament for James O'Toole Author: Mary Brennan Singer: Margaret O'Toole Subject The topic of the resource Theme: Patriotic hero, local event Location: South Carlow, North-east Carlow James O'Toole was another sad victim of the Irish Civil war; he died at Shean near Myshall in 1922, together with Miley Carroll. Description An account of the resource There is sorrow round the sallies now, For a brave young lad is gone. The O’Toole’s home is lonely now, That once was bright and gay. His mother’s heart is broke For the loss of a darling son, And the father he’s bent with grief, Likewise his brother Tom. No more they’ll hear his merry laugh Or kiss his manly brow. They may call for him, but it’s all in vain, He cannot hear them now. They didn’t know what pain he felt, Nor did they see him die, They were not allowed to ease that sigh To say a last goodbye. His life was short, we must allow, But he did obey the call. O God, so good and merciful Have mercy on us all. Hundreds were at his funeral It was a glorious scene: The coffin wrapped in Erin’s flag, The yellow, white and green. At Craneran’s lonely grave yard His body was laid low: No more his parents or his friends A happy hour will know. His grave with wreaths was covered From friends and comrades true And it was a fitting tribute For a lad so good and true. The last post was sounded, Full tributes for to pay, And it’s there we laid him down to rest Until the judgement day. He was a brave young soldier lad ‘Tis for Ireland’s cause he died And his comrade Miley Carroll As they both fought side by side. Now Christ who died for love of men Have mercy on their souls May Jim Toole’s name in history shine Upon the martyr’s roll.

Subject The topic of the resource LAMENT FOR THE CURLEW I hear no more the lonesome cry Of the curlew’s haunting call In the quiet of dark starlight sky sky Somewhere above my hall. CHORUS She’s fallen victim, with her kind, To mankind’s greed for MORE. When all is gone, it’s then we’ll find ENOUGH is more than MORE. Where once she called out to her mate, In bogs by Barrow’s shore, The empty sky is now her fate; The bogs are there no more. CHORUS The bogs she shared with cock and teal Are drained to make more crops; Now there's only one great field: No cover, gorse, or copse. CHORUS The mountain marsh where once she roamed With woodcock, snipe and hare Now grows only Pine tree groves. Dry ground beneath is bare. CHORUS We've taken much of Flora now From Nature's treasure trove: The Fauna soon will follow now, Then we'll be next to go. CHORUS We've fallen victim with our kind To our kind's greed for more; When all is gone it's then we'll find ENOUGH is MORE than MORE.

McCall. Scríobh PJ go leor amhrán ó thraidisiún streachailt na hÉireann ar son na saoirse ó riail choilíneach. Tá sé seo ar cheann de na cinn is cáiliúla. Déanann an t-amhrán ceiliúradh ar bhua Fhiach Mac Hugh O'Byrne ar arm Sasanach i nGleann an Mhuirire sa bhliain 1580. Ba é Ceatharlach lárionad riaracháin Shasana i gceantar dheisceart na Paile, lena n-áirítear Cill Mhantáin anois agus dá bhrí sin bhí sé ina sprioc do na reibiliúnaithe Éireannacha. Ceaptar gurb é séis an amhráin an ceol iarbhír a sheinn píobairí Fiach agus iad ag máirseáil chun cath. P.J. McCall’s father was from Clonmore in east County Carlow. PJ wrote many songs from the tradition of Ireland’s struggle for freedom from colonial rule. This is one of the most famous. The song celebrates the victory of Fiach Mac Hugh O’Byrne over an English army in Glenmalure in 1580. Carlow was the centre of English administration for the area of the southern Pale, including what is now Wicklow and was therefore a target for the Irish rebels. It is thought the melody for the song was the actual music played by Fiach’s pipers as they marched to battle.

Title A name given to the resource Life Author: Dave Barron Air: Siun Ui Dhuibhir Subject The topic of the resource Theme: Transience of Life's joys, sadnesses and potential.The old song Siun Uio Dhuibhir tells the story of missed opportunity for love. Life passes so quick-ly. Some see it as a few brief moments of joy in a sea of sadness; others see it as a sad time lead-ing to hope for happiness in a distant new life. Whatever the belief, we should seek to make the most of each phase of our life, to seek fulfilment of the innate potential within us. Description An account of the resource LIFE Farewell to the days of our youth, now long gone bye, The red sap that pulsed through young limbs now sere and dry; The hot pulse that throbbed in wild heart and fiery limbs, Now chilled and faded in time as memory dims. Lonely and sad are the parents when young must depart, Leaving the family home and the warmth of the hearth; Memories of moments, days full of joy and sun; The brighter the memories, the darker the sorrows run. Deep is the grief and sorrow when old friends must part, A dark pall of gloom to pummel and bruise the heart; The pain and the darkness strangle the joy of life; Dismal and drear is the feeling, both day and night. Sad is the heart when lovers must say goodbye; The wild passion and zest of fresh love long gone bye; The laughter and glow now lost in a sea of tears; Lovers no more, just companions in their last years. So sadness and joy are parts of our human life; The higher the joy the deeper our grief will lie; To each phase of life one question remains the key: Am I content, or, Am I all I might be?
