    A path whereby the priest was want to go. Let all who may pass there
    Throw a stone and say a prayer
    For the soggarth in that path who is lying low
    There is no heather in that path which well I know
    Flowering heather in that path doth even grow
    His body there was thrown
    But his spirit now flown.
