Rhyme Scheme: ABBCCCDEEBFGGDHHBBBB D| SADDLE and ride I heard a man say | A |
| Out of Ben Bulben and Knocknarea | B |
| i What says the Clock in the Great Clock Tower | B |
| All those tragic characters ride | C |
| But turn from Rosses' crawling tide | C |
| The meet's upon the mountain side | C |
| i A slow low note and an iron bell | D |
| What brought them there so far from their home | E |
| Cuchulain that fought night long with the foam | E |
| i What says the Clock in the Great Clock Tower | B |
| Niamh that rode on it lad and lass | F |
| That sat so still and played at the chess | G |
| What but heroic wantonness | G |
| i A slow low note and an iron bell | D |
| Aleel his Countess Hanrahan | H |
| That seemed but a wild wenching man | H |
| i What says the Clock in the Great Clock Tower | B |
| And all alone comes riding there | B |
| The King that could make his people stare | B |
| Because he had feathers instead of hair | B |
| i A slow low note and an iron bell | D |
