Mrs. Ford (_standing alone at the door_): People of Carrabane, gather
about the old house of Donagh Ford. Let the fight for the land in this
place end where it began. Let the courage and the strength that Donagh
Ford knew be in your blood from this day out. Let the spirit be good and
the hand be strong for the work that the heart directs. Raise up your
voices with my voice this day and let us make a great praise on the
name of Ireland. (_She raises her stick, straightening her old figure.
The band strikes up and the people cheer outside as the curtain falls._)
