Notes: 

A second modern plaque is erected underneath which reads "

From a Munster vale they brought her,

From the pure and balmy air,

An Ormond peasant’s daughter

With blue eyes and golden hair,

They took her to the city

And she faded slowly there

Consumption hath no pity

                  On blue eyes and golden hair.
