   iv
   They are gone and away away to death
   They pull with a hearty will
   While the watchers move- a steady group
   To the top of Dun Daillinn hill
   And they see as the pilots near the ship
   That she gives one fatal roll
   And they cry to the Great Lord God above
   To pity each victims soul.

   v
   Oh! now is the moment of bitter need
   And that moment will soon be past
   It is vain to struggle in Death's embrace
   Its cold hand has gripped them fast
   Oh the light is sweet to the darkening eye
   And the sea makes a lonely grave
   But no human power in that awful hour
   Even one precious life could save.

   vi
   There are three gone now but the other two
   Are struggliing right bravely yet
   With manly brows? to the heavens laid bare
   And their teeth in agony set
   Each meets the wave with its warm breast
   And strikes through the blinding foam
   For the love of life- for the love of wife
   For the love of his cherished home.
