IThe wheel revolves, old names are changedAnd some poor lads and lassies blamed
For courage great and the great step takenAnd souls united new life to awaken IIBut others are whose souls are deadWhose life is like a sheet leadWhose hearts are cold, whose minds are dullWhose very life is like the gull IIIThey tried and failed in every walkTheir only hope is empty talkThey’ve left Shrove a winter wasteTo Skelligs now they’ll have to haste IVSome thought that “Johnny Crón” would seeHis way to wend to “Counovree”But “Molly D” was without moneySo now he’s more interested in honey VThe few mean pints that “Paddy” stoodTo gain the heart of “Sheila the wood”Will long remain a real heart-breakerAnd foil his path to “Cáit the raker”
