  • • Cuchulainn's Son .wmv
    The challenge of an ancient game
    Brought glory, glory to your name
    Though March winds blew the crowds still came
    To watch you gentle hero.
    In life's long march you made us proud
    And many a voice from out the crowd
    Called out your name aloud, aloud
    An echo still resounding.
    And Blackstairs men who saw you then
    Still speak of you in awe,
    On Carman's green where you had been
    They tell of what they saw,
    We watched you on September fields
    And lightning was the drive
    You were the one Cuchulainn's son in 1955.
    The hand that held the stick of ash,
    And the man who led with style and dash,
    Oh! Carrigtwohill once felt the crash
    And Bennettsbridge and Thurles.
    And when in later life you beat
    The devil on that lonely street
    You showed us how to take defeat
    With dignity and courage.
    The last parade was sad and slow
    The last oration spoken low
    And as, on green fields long ago
    The Diamond stood beside you
    Old friends they flanked you side by side
    And the tears they shed were tears of pride
    An ash tree toppled when you died
    And scattered seeds at random.
    Tom Williams

    That is just beautiful. I am so impressed with all of the flowers and decorations on these graves. I thought that the younger generation wasn't into decorating the past generations of family members. This gives me hope for the future. Thank you Sue you are amazing. God bless you!

    What an amazing cemetery, so well maintained and neatly laid out. I love the seats placed around so you could sit and maybe chat to your loved one, even if its only inside your head...and yes we all do this at times. Nicky was an amazing sportsman and lovely to see he is remembered, I think nearly everyone was remembered in that cemetery. Thank you Sue, you are doing a great job. 💕🇦🇺

      My grandad was such a fan of The great Nicky Rachard, we still have matches here named after him. A tough man. Seeing you comment reminded me of my lovely grandad. He was a treasure to us and raised my mam and uncle on his own, after granny died young. My hero.

    Hey Sue, another great video. This is an amazing cemetery, stunning really. Its interesting how so many of the graves are in such close proximity to one another, and so many of the headstones and memorials are incrediby impressive, to think of the love and effort put into them, a direct reflection of how much these individuals were cared for and loved. The memorials for the Connors and Aunt Mary were just amazing. Thanks so much for the info for Nicky Rackard, I actually hadnt heard of him before. Many sporting accomplishments to be sure, I was sorry to hear about his drinking, though he did help out with AA later in life...a life ended to soon. No one here is forgotten though, whether you mentioned their names or not..all are remembered. Thankx again! :)

    • @SerenitySueGraveyards

  • @christineingram55
    @christineingram55 Před 2 lety +3

    Beautiful cemetery.we can’t have our graves set out like this here in the U.K. ,it’s just headstones in tows and most have got to be a regulation size shape etc now which I think is wrong,you should be able to have a bit more choice ,but I guess it makes it easier to maintain the grass.Yet the really old Cemeteries that go back a long way have all the big statues,the tombs etc in.When I lived in Portsmouth that one we went through was really amazing .I loved it . But guess it’s the changing times..Thank you for the Story and the adventure .Love n Light 🥰

  • @zzzzipy12
    @zzzzipy12 Před 2 lety +2

    Very beautiful & interesting cemetery, I’ve never seen one with all the Little Rock’s covering the graves. With the plots so close together, they must hand dig the new graves. So many flowers & decorations, people are loved & remembered. ❤️
