From The Nationalist, 18/09/1897. Subject The topic of the resource The poem records the courage, motivation and fate of the hundreds who died on that terrible morning in May, 1798 when ambushed and slaughtered by English soldiers on Tullow Street in Carlow town Description An account of the resource A morning fair, o’erarched with skies of May, Broke over files of men in stern array- By wrongs made reckless – to avenge the flood – The seething torrent of their tears and blood By England’s hell-hounds shed. The sunbeams fell On bounding hearts that fear could never quell, On pikes and muskets gleaming bare and bright, That would ere long be gore-dyed in the fight. They silver-tipped the roofs of Carlow town, They fell on Crosbie’s lawn and mansion down, And far away o’er Wicklow’s hills serene They burnished all around with radiant sheen; And never sun shone on a braver band, And never yet had seen the old green land Hearts true as these for her to win renown, And free, as free as air, each hill and town. They gathered there from passes of Idrone, With step of grace and lightness all their own; From Myshal’s slopes, from Ballon and Ardoyne, They came, with Carlow’s gallant men to join; From Kellistown, and from the Burrin’s side, And Tullow’s sons aglow with manly pride, All, all combine to strike for homes and kin, And Freedom’s glorious laurels for Ireland win. Cheer after cheer ascends from them on high, Those gallant hearts resolved to do or die; With stately tread they march upon the town And cut the foremost lines of Yeomen down. When from each side a murderous fusillade Poured death and havoc ‘mong their ranks dismayed. The redcoats ambushed in each house secure Death’s leaden messengers sent swift and sure. Yet on they marched, their shot and shell defying, Tho’ hundreds now upon the streets are lying In ghastly heaps- their bravest and their best – Their hearts and minds forever now at rest; Hearts that with life and hope were brimming o’er At morning’s dawn, are now, alas! no more, Till twice three hundred men are lying dead And Carlow’s streets are dyed a gory red. Were Crimea’s heroes, a braver, nobler band Than those six hundred dying for their land, Or did they suffer a more glorious death Before the Russian canon’s fiery breath, Than they who fell in Freedom’s sacred cause, Insurgents made by England’s penal laws? Ah, no! the grandest and the noblest death Is ‘neath the flag of Freedom and of Faith.

Furey In 1944, Carlow made sporting history by winning their only Leinster Senior Football Championship, defeating Dublin in the final. This momentous victory was immortalized in verse by P.J. Furey, capturing the excitement, pride, and determination of that legendary team. Below is the full transcription of his poem, celebrating the Carlow fifteen and their unforgettable triumph. In the year Forty-four towards the end of July,
 The great Leinster final was played in Athy.
 This game of fine football was listed between,
 The boys from the Liffey and the Carlow fifteen. Oh! I'll never forget till the day that I die,
 Of the crowds that went travelling that day to Athy,
 They peddled and walked it, excitement was keen,
 By the many supporters of the Carlow fifteen. There were horses and ponies and jennets and traps,
 For most of the journey not caring two raps,
 There were donkeys came trotting down every boreen,
 With their ears to attention for the Carlow fifteen. O'er the mountains of Leinster the cheers rose and fell,
 As Dublin played strongly and Carlow right well,
 When the tin whistle sounded the score board was seen,
 To be down in the figures for the Carlow fifteen. As the crowd held their breath and the great climax came,
 It was whispered all over that Dublin held game,
 But none ever thought of the scoring machine,
 The forward division of the Carlow fifteen. What change in the last half did the minutes unroll,
 As the boys from the Barrow kept swarming the goal,
 It was blue in an old spot, but red, gold and green,
 Were the colours of victory for the Carlow fifteen. Now we'll crown every player with a gay flowered wreath,
 Made from cauliflowers and onions and sugar beet,
 There will be smiles on the features of dark Rosaleen,
 Decorating the boys of the Carlow fifteen. As the years creep upon me, I'm wrinkled and grey,
 There are times that I gossip and times that I pray,
 I will sit by my fireside and puff my dudeen,
 And go with my thoughts on the team fondly stray. Jim Quinlan the goalie was the best in his day,
 Jim Archbold, Joyce, and Lawlor full-back,
 Whelan and Farrell and O'Rourke weren’t slack. Centre field was Luke Kelly and Jim Morris of fame,
 Mickey Byrne and Hosey and Moore were all game,
 But Sullivan, Doyle and Jerma near were green,
 Proud champions of Leinster were the Carlow fifteen.
