"We thought you would not die, we were sure you would not go
and leave us in our utmost need to Cromwell's cruel blow"
Owen Roe O'Neill was the "wild goose" returned home.
Fighting for Spain at Arras, with only 1,500 men,
he held off a French Army of more than 30,000.
Returning to serve Ireland in her time of need,
he held the field at the Battle of Benburb.
She played as if there was nothing in the world more important
than the way every note was sounded.
