Anyone know this poem?

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.

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!
