   On the fickle harvest on Scotalnd's shore;
   They were returning - their hearts a burning
   To spend the winter at home once more.

   In Burtonport on the train's arrival
   Some friends were waiting with an open boat;
   With nineteen souls there, their boat departed
   To bear them home to their homes remote.

   With their merry laughter the shore resounded
   On that bitter night as they left the quay;
   But merry laughter was changed to weeping
   When the boat capsized in the moaning sea.

   What tongue can tell of that moment's horror
   When their boat so frail struck a hidden reef?
   Loud cries arose for mercy to Heaven
   From those poor ones in their hour of grief.

   Throughout the night 'mid ocean's crashing
   The fight went on twixt death and life;
   At dawn of morning their boat was sighted
   With one survivor from that night of strife.

   The Island's grief will be long and bitter,
   For the heavy loss which they have sustained;
   But the prayers of the humble island dwellers
