    Bit of a long shot, but I can't find anything on google. Does anyone happen to know the words to a poem called 'Bury me in Fatima Mansions' by Francis Stuart?

    Tried to find something on this...
    But could only come up with this...

    Bury me at Fatima Mansions
    Between the wire and the wall
    Within sound of the children's yelling
    And their mother's frantic call.
    Encased beneath wet concrete
    With nothing more to say,
    My feet in ancient litter
    And my head in Dublin clay.
    As the washing waves above me
    And the coal carts trundle by,
    Unmarked and unremembered,
    Safe at last I'd lie.

    - Ulick O'Connor

    Weird, I found something similar, but I've been told it's a Francis Stuart poem and it was also listed as being so in an article from the Independent. Maybe you're spot on, though. Thanks for the answer!
