    VII
    May the Lord comfort their parents
    And their friends now to implore
    Who were left behind to mourn the loss
    Who on earth shall see no more
    And now to conclude and finish
    And may the Lord on high,
    Who was witness to this tragedy
    With his all seeing eye
    May the master and his scholars
    The teacher and his wife
    Who went a boating on Lough Sillan
    Where they lost their precious life
    RIP
