[Verse] I will rise and go now / to penny buns and tea / The clock's at half-eleven / and Dennan foams with glee. / So leave the weary Accessions-Books / and come along with me!
Crawford Neil, who loved writing light verse, was an attendant at the National Library of Ireland and an innocent casualty of the Rising. He was born 20 January 1887.
