Sixteen Dead Men
| O but we talked at large before | | The sixteen men were shot, | | But who can talk of give and take, | | What
should be and what not | | While those dead men are loitering there | | To stir the boiling pot? | | | | | | You say that
we should still the land | | Till Germany’s overcome; | | But who is there to argue that | | Now Pearse is deaf and
dumb? | | And is their logic to outweigh | | MacDonagh’s bony thumb? | | | | | | How could you dream they’d listen | | That have an ear alone | | For those new comrades they have found, | | Lord Edward and Wolfe Tone, | | Or
meddle with our give and take | | That converse bone to bone? |
