Beál-an- Mhuirthid
(I)Near Inniskea
In the dark blue sea,
A lovely island stands
The roaring sea
In mirth and glee
Foams round the coral strand
Of this island of old
Many tales have been told
It's a place long famed in story
It's name had sprung
From the Gaelic tongue
And they call it Inisglora
(II)The sacred dust
Of the noble and just,
For ages here does lie,
And I hope as they rest
In this island so blest
Their souls do rest on high
Out here they sleep
In their home on the deep
And departed is all their glory(continues on next page)
