him. In popular culture The Irish ballad "Grace", written by Seán and Frank O'Meara, is a monologue of Plunkett expressing his love to Grace and his love for the cause of Irish independence in the small hours before his execution. The ballad has been notably covered by Jim McCann. He is also mentioned in the Irish rebel song “Seán South of Garryowen”. American composer Florence Turner-Maley used Plunkett’s text in her song “I See Him Everywhere.” His religious poem "I See His Blood upon the Rose" is well-known in Ireland.
