The Wayfarer By Pádraig Pearse - The Wayfarer By Pádraig Pearse
This was the last poem written by Pearse on the eve of his execution at Kilmainham Gaol, Dublin (May 2, 1916). Storyteller Pat Lynch of Fox's Lane Folk Museum, Youghal, read the poem as a fitting tribute on the centenary of the Easter Rising. Recorded on the 26th March 2016.

The Wayfarer by Pádraig Pearse

The beauty of the world hath made me sad,
This beauty that will pass;
Sometimes my heart hath shaken with great joy

To see a leaping squirrel in a tree,
Or a red lady-bird upon a stalk,
Or little rabbits in a field at evening,
Lit by a slanting sun,
Or some green hill where shadows drifted by
Some quiet hill where mountainy man hath sown
And soon would reap; near to the gate of Heaven;

Or children with bare feet upon the sands
Of some ebbed sea, or playing on the streets
Of little towns in Connacht,
Things young and happy.
And then my heart hath told me:
These will pass,
Will pass and change, will die and be no more,
Things bright and green, things young and happy;
And I have gone upon my way
Sorrowful.

Video of the aftermath of the 1962 storm in Youghal, Co. Cork. (7th March - Ash Wednesday)

It was probably the most destructive weather event in living memory in Youghal in terms of material damage. The south-facing wall of Green Park was demolished and the sea entered flooding a large area of it.

North Main Street was extensively flooded. Locals recall seeing a salmon yawl being rowed along the street at the top of Brown Street.

Sections of roadway at the Front Strand near the Railway Station were ripped up exposing gas and water mains and those houses nearest the Station including the Esplanade Hotel were extensively damaged and their basements flooded. A number of these were subsequently demolished and replaced with a carpark.

Damage was also caused to the Railway Station Shed and fencing. The Red and Black Buoys were torn from their sea bed moorings and driven ashore. Photos © Liam Burke

St. Patrick's Day in Youghal 1983 - This video has to separate parades: The first part of the video up to the 5min 10secs (Just to the shot of the boat in the harbour) is probably from the 1982 St. Patrick's Day Parade or earlier - The rest of the video is the 1983 parade. This video was recorded by local man Willie O'Mahony and shows the St. Patrick's Day Parade in Youghal back in 1983 (and also the parade from 1982 or earlier).

This video was recorded by local man Willie O'Mahony and shows the St. Patrick's Day Parade in Youghal back in 1983. The parade can be seen in its entirety marching along Kent Street and The Mall and then going up the main street, passing the podium where the Youghal Town Councillors, TD's, heads of the local churches and dignitaries are seated. Most clubs and organisations can be seen in this fascinating clip as well as The Boys' Brigade who were celebrating their 100 anniversary that year.
