-
-
The waves about Iona dirgeB
The wild winds trumpet over SkyeC
Shrill around Arran's cliff bound vergeB
The gray gulls cryD
-
Spring wraps its transient scarf of greenE
Its heathery robe round slope and scarF
And night the scudding wrack betweenE
Lights its lone starF
-
But you who loved these outland islesG
Their gleams their glooms their mysteriesH
Their eldritch lures their druid wilesG
Their tragic seasH
-
Will heed no more in mortal guiseI
The potent witchery of their callJ
If dawn be regnant in the skiesI
Or evenfallJ
-
Yet though where suns Sicilian beamK
The loving earth enfolds your formL
I can but deem these coasts of dreamK
And hovering stormL
-
Still thrall your spirit that it bidesI
By far Iona's kelp strewn shoreM
There lingering till time and tidesI
Shall surge no moreM
