DEATH IN NAAS

Timmy Conway

When I was a boy

I worked in the nun’s field

Sowing potatoes

One day

The church bell rang  twice

It stopped and rang twice again

And again the bell stopped and rang again

One ring for a man, two rings for a woman

Pat King said Miss Dowling had died

We stopped our work

And prayed for her soul.
