Memoriam card printed after his death on 22/08/1922

"Oh ! hideous war ! that splits our land

Whilst brother 'gainst brother strives

Good God in mercy never planned

This useless waste of noble lives

Tho' Michael Collins sleeps in death.

And Erin's lost a noble son.

We pray that with his parting breadth

That peace for Ireland may be won."
