Title A name given to the resource Boatmen that Are Gone Author: Kit Ennis Singer: Tony Malone Subject The topic of the resource Theme: Local Event Description An account of the resource Location: West Carlow, Barrow The title says it all: looking back at a way of life and of work that are gone, the Barrow boys are no more. The author, Kit Ennis, was a lock keeper at Tinnahinch lock (Graiguenamanagh) in the 1920s. Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource The Boatmen That Are Gone Now the Grand Canal is just the same old winding waterway But it’s old time navigators are now moldering in the clay Those gentle old world boatmen who sailed those waters o’er They have departed on a voyage from which they’ll come no more Though they are gone they’ve left us a memory sweet to save While summer breezes whisper round their narrow silent graves May they be with their Master and Heaven’s light shine on Those one time hardy sons of toil the boatmen that are gone. Out on that dreary Grand Canal when winter wind did blow And swept before it’s icy blast the frozen flakes of snow When others could lie down and sleep, tucked warmly in their bed The poor old boatman got no chance to rest his weary head And through the cold dark winter night out in snow and rain No shelter on their watery way, each side an open plain Exposed to all the elements they worked their boats along And kept their drooping spirits up with a good old Irish song. With hearts within their bosom that knew no art or guile With honest faces that always bore a kindly welcome smile Hearts that will never beat again, may the clay lie lightly on Those poor toil worn bodies of the boatmen that are gone Their lonesome cold and bitter life with cheerful hearts they bore And for their loved ones left at home no men could suffer more ‘Till Saint Michael sounds his final call we cannot look upon Th e faces of those friends of ours the boatmen that are gone. I miss each old familiar face that has been cut away Like the bloom of early summer that autumn winds decay Their sins against the Father e’er He on them did call Th e lives they led on earth may they atone for all Now all you men you men who boat, remember ever more You’ll sail out on that same old track your father sailed before And just like them will come the day for you to sail out on That trip from which there’s no return, like the boatmen that are gone.

Title A name given to the resource Bombardier 37063 Author: Martin Power Subject The topic of the resource A warm, gentle breeze bends the bearded stalks of the barley That line the walkway to the cemetery, Inside the dry stone wall with its granite stone capping Yew trees stand among the headstones; Inscribed on those headstones are family names That have been spoken here for generations While others , their inscriptions have been lost to the ages; In the southwest corner stands a small, white headstone, Its inscription reads 37063 Bombardier P Nolan Royal Garrison Artillery 30th July 1917 Aged 30 RIP As I gaze upon that headstone, one hundred years to the day, I can't but wonder how he died or where he fell; Did he die upon the battlefield? Did he fall in no-mans-land? Was he killed alongside his comrades fighting for a cause they did not understand/ I wonder what brought him there, was he seeking glory or adventure? Or, was it poverty that caused him to join up to fight in a war to end all wars? That night we prayed for all poor souls, and the priest he blessed the graves, And we walked back through the barley field and went upon our way. But curiosity is a funny thing and it got hold of me that night For I could not forget the soldier lad till I learned of his sad plight. It wasn't bomb or bullet, or bayonet that brought him to his knees, But the deadly fear of fighting men, that incurable disease, The dreadful tuberculosis was the cause of his demise; It was the terror of the trenches for it took so many lives. 'Discharged, unfit for service' is what the army said, they sent him home to Ireland, his own war to fight instead. This was not a glorious battle, there was no medal to be won, But rather a slow and painful fight was to be his setting sun And in the Carlow workhouse on that beautiful July morn He gave his soul to God above, his battle bravely won. Description An account of the resource The reflection could be applied to thousands of wasted lives, in thousands of wars. In this case the 'casualty' was a young local man, another victim of wars made by others. The grave is situated in Leagh cemetery, not far from Graigue, Carlow.
