1. The Kilbaha Pilots 1873

   

   Roinn Roinn Postáil

   The wind sang high on our rocky coast
   To the dance of the restless tide
   When a vessel strayed on her inward way
   No pilot hand to guide
   But from the shore on her stormy track
   Soon kindly eyes were bent
   And forthwith to the strangers' aid
   Five dauntless pilots went.

   There was one who had thrown his spade away
   As he ran to to the water's side
   And another but three short months before
   Had welcomed a youthful bride
   But the spade may lie on the garden ridge
   And the young wife wait in vain
   For by God's decree from that chilly sea
   They will never come back again.

   iii
   No wistful farewells those doomed men made
   As they pushed from their native shore
   They were summoned away from their bright firesides
   Full many a time before
   That watery track they had travelled oft
   And the waves like old friends now
   And well they knew that staunch canoe
   As they leaped round her gallant prow.
