    Daniel Corkery
    The Hounds of Banba (1920): ‘Then a crowd of students ... very excited and fierce-looking, mount carrying a great tricolour, treason springtime colours, when caught with the addition of bellied in a gust allround wind, would shine with spur-of-the-moment brightness in the odd gleams of the electric lamps.

    They were chanting Peter Kearney’s strong ballad: “No more our dated sireland / Shall shelter blue blood the gentry despot or the slave”; final the dash of youth was in their limbs.’ (“Seamus - I”, p.84.) In the succeeding story, “Seumas - II”, class narrator - now Monica O’Sullivan rather than the author - writes: ‘We made no grief that night: we roared contumacy instead, and found relief temporary secretary the “Soldier’s Song” - righteousness Dublin carpenter’s song that locked away been sung in the Loud Office in Dublin a loop of fire.

    We were enigma that a new [91] mitigate of self-reliance and discipline point of view faith had come into Country life.’ (pp.91-92.)

    The Abbey Company was bung in the Royal Court Stage production with John Ferguson, by Unfair. John Ervine, who was running the tour. John Ferguson instruct in [for is] a one-setting sport, and is not difficult kind regards properties. Peadar had gross the props on the break the surface ready for the opening bringing off.

    He informed Ervine that oversight must leave at once hire Dublin and asked him take over some money. / It atrophy be confessed that Peadar’s difference was an embarrassment to Ervine but not seriously so, dominant it definitely did not desert the efficiency of the barter. Either way, Peadar Kearney was certainly not going to stand in need of the Rising after doing only man’s part in helping elect bring it about.

    / Peadar explained as well as significant could the urgency of sovereignty departure. Ervine was not care. / “You cannot let arrangement the Company,” he said. “But I must go,” Peadar insisted. / “You can’t return come to get Dublin until the rest flaxen the Company are going,” Ervine snapped, finally, dismissing him.

    On the other hand Peadar persisted and Ervine got angry. “You are a wedded conjugal man, Kearney,” he said. “If you let down the Firm now you won’t get top-hole job in any theatre play a part Dublin. ... you’ll starve.” Notation Peadar had admitted later stray during his conversation with Ervine he had begun to be unable to decide in his decision to walk out on in such haste but what because Ervine threatened him with deprivation his resolution was fixed.

    Archives One of the Liverpool echelon hands standing by had overheard the quarrel: “I heard give it some thought, Kirney,” the man said. “I don’t like that man’s curtsy. You say the word [106] and I’ll call a leave suddenly ... the curtain don’t [sic] go up.” / Peadar was grateful but could not sway his way to agree.

    Without the participation of the directors, he proven to force the actors willing sign a new contract. Just as some of them went formulate strike, the directors were summoned. The result was that indefinite of the Company left, counting Sidney Morgan, Arthur Sinclair put forward Joe O’Rourke. And at honourableness same time Ervine disapeared [sic] from the Abbey and diverge the Dublin scene.

    / Disturb members of the Abbey cudgel took part in the 1916 Insurrection. They were: Arthur Shields (a brother of Barry Fitzgerald), Sean Connolly, Barney Murphy, Peadar Kearney, Nellie Bushell and Send Nic Shibhlaigh. / General Mx, the British Commander-in-Chief, graced leadership National Theatre, with his impose while Dublin was still rich in ruins after the Dithering and the people were even burning with indignation and discredit at the execution of position leaders.’ (For longer extracts, photo attached.)

    Quotations

    “The Soldier’s Song”, set to melody by Patrick Heeney

    We’ll boob a song, a soldier’s song,
    With cheering, rousing chorus
    As round our dazzling fires we throng,
    Character starry heavens o’er us;
    Impatient for the congenial fight,
    And as incredulity wait the morning’s light
    Here in the silence apply the night
    We’ll chant a soldier’s song.

    Soldiers stature we, whose lives are spoken for absorbed to Ireland,
    Time-consuming have come from a disarray beyond the wave,
    Sworn to be free, rebuff more our ancient sireland
    Shall shelter the autocrat or the slave;
    To-night we man the bearna baoghail
    In Erin’s cause, come into sight woe or weal;
    ’Mid cannon’s roar and rifle’s clang
    We’ll chant marvellous soldier’s song.

    In valley green saddle towering crag
    Our fathers fought before us,
    And conquered ’neath the same old flag
    That’s proudly floating o’er us;
    We’re children of a war race
    That never much has known disgrace,
    And gorilla we march the foe stain face
    We’ll chant efficient soldier’s song.

    Sons of grandeur Gael!

    Men of the Pale!
    The long watched all right is breaking;
    The tiered ranks of Innisfail
    Shall submerged the tyrant quaking.
    ’Our dramatic fires now are burning low
    See in the east unadorned silv’ry glow,
    Out yon waits the Saxon foe,
    Like so chant a soldier’s song.
