   The Skellig’s List

   
   I

   The wheel revolves, old names are changed

   And some poor lads and lassies blamed

   
   For courage great and the great step taken

   And souls united new life to awaken

   II

   But others are whose souls are dead

   Whose life is like a sheet lead

   Whose hearts are cold, whose minds are dull

   Whose very life is like the gull

   III

   Their only hope is empty talk

   They’ve left Shrove a winter waste

   To Skelligs now they’ll have to haste

   IV

   Some thought that “Johnny Crón” would see

   His way to wend to “Counovree”

   But “Molly D” was without money

   So now he’s more interested in honey

   V

   The few mean pints that “Paddy” stood

   To gain the heart of “Sheila the wood”

   Will long remain a real heart-breaker

   And foil his path to “Cáit the raker”

   
   VI

   
   Poor “Máire D” is trudging West
