She took her tea
In a fine china cup
While an old chipped mug
Served as his to sup
He was Catholic
And very devout
She, a High Protestant
Whom conventions would flout
He was handsome
A true son of the soil
While, she was winsome
And not meant for hard toil
It was in the market
On a warm spring day
Each, saw the other
In that special way
So the two met
And fell in love
The young man, the lass,
And a small... White Dove
To mark their special
Happiness you see
And each felt blessed
'til eternity
It was just a year
Since they'd been wed
Chancing to walk home
Another way instead
Their cozy cottage
Lie off the Crumlin Road
Near the Borstal Arms
A Republican abode
The lovers tarried
To share a wee cuddle
As the cruel bomb's blast
Turned their street to rubble
The hard men
On each side paused
Momentarily saddened...
At such a terrible loss
What price Freedom...
What price the bloody Crown

Fortunately, things have gotten a lot better in the old country since I wrote this one.
