The Ballad of Edmund Rice and the Early Monks. By P.A.McManus
Dedication:- I sat before this master
Just one of seried ranks
I dedicate these musings
To J.E.C with thanks.
‘Twas June the first in sixty two
That Edmund was born
In Westcourt house , a country home
Near Callan town at dawn.
In eighteenth century Ireland,
The times they sure were bad
For she was ground beneath the heel
Of tyrants -oh ‘twas sad.
