And though from his old Townland his bones may rest elsewhere
Forever in Gortavehy his spirit will remain there.
Never more at 45 card drives will he play partners with Margaret his dear wife
For many years together they enjoyed a happy life
But every happy union must come to an end one day
And in the cemetery by Millstreet Town his bones forever lay.
An honest man Nicholas Tarrant witty in his own quiet way
And others listened to him when he had something to say
One of the Duhallow Tarrants a very famous clan
And by everyone who knew him a well respected man.
From the land of the visible living Nicholas Tarrant may be gone
But back home in Gortavehy his spirit will live on
From the great battle that is life he has found his release
And in St Mary’s cemetery his remains will rest at peace.
