Seamus Murphy

 He will never again walk in the fields of the rook and grey crow

In green Ballydaly Lower where the Blackwater flow

In the quiet countryside by night and by day

To the distant Atlantic babbling on it's way

Sad to learn Seamus Murphy has reached the end of his life span

He was known to all who knew or knew of him as a likeable man

Though death is a thing that we all have to face

Ballydaly Lower for him in it was a much better place

In life respect for his honesty for himself he had won

Seamus a good man who never harmed anyone 

From where he lived for years not that far away

His remains are at peace in Cullen Cemetery today 

He was not very old though he did not die young

And his own praises by him they never were sung

A true gentleman of him one can say

The Human World in need of more people like he was today

Gone from Ballydaly Lower he will never again

See the Boggeraghs half cloaked in the grey fogs of rain

For all of us from life a final release

Seamus Murphy the good man may he rest in peace.
