- (ar lean ón leathanach roimhe)They were summoned away from their work and home
full many a time before
That westerly track they had traversed oft
and the waves were like old friends now
you might fancy they knew that staunch canoe
as they leaped round its gallant prow4)They are gone - and away, away to death-
they pull with a hearty will
while the watchers move in an eager group
to the top of Drondallon hill
They see as the pilots near the ship,
the sea give one fatal roll,
And they cry to the love of God above
to pity his creature's soul5)
Ah! now is the moment of bitter need
but that need will soon be past
It is vain to struggle in Death's embrace
and his cold hand has gripped them fast
Oh! the light is sweet to the darkening eye!
and the sea makes a lonely grave,
But no human power in that awful hour(leanann ar an chéad leathanach eile)
