Dora Sigerson Shorter,
In the Years of Sarsfield
(1922)
“ I wish I were young at the siege of Limerick, Holding the breach there and glad in the fight; Ah, could I but see him, King William of Orange, With his troops defeated ready for flight. Had I but stood on the bridge of Athlone, there Flinging the plank and beam into the wave, Keeping the broken arch, as the last hero stood Fighting the fight of death, one of the brave. ”
