   The oars are set, but the oars men wondering, If the Saggarth who's gone will find way of returning.
   But no more aroon; no more for ever. At Christmas or Easter shall come back Mavrone:
   For Mass or for christening return he'll never, Till Judgment Day cometh, the saggart is gone.
   No more in the sheeiing, or station or meeting:
   No more on the hillside, his smile and his greeting;
   The bride and the bridegroom, shall wait and be lorning,
   For the Saggart who's gone to know no returning.
   No more now aroon: no more now for ever At morn or eve shall come back Mavrone: The Saggart is gone and Alas; gone for ever: Neither morning nor evening, shall bring back, Mavrone.
