    Nor felt a hope save chat of heaven
    Within a solitary isle
    By Sheelins murmuring waves surrounded
    The ruins of a Gothic pile
    Received him joyless and confounded
    Lonely he wandered on the shore
    And sighed for friends in battle falling
    Again he sees them drenched in gore
    And fondly each dear name recalling
    "Where are the brave" he sadly cried
    Dear lovely Erin once thy glory
    In vain to save thee have they died
