On haste and leave this sacred isle | B |
Unholy bark ere morning smile | B |
For on thy deck though dark it be | C |

And I have sworn this sainted sod | D |
Shall ne'er by woman's feet by trod | D |

Oh Father send not hence my bark | E |
Through wintry winds and billows dark | E |
I come with humble heart to share | F |
Thy morn and evening prayer | F |
Nor mine the feet oh holy Saint | G |
The brightness of thy sod to taint | G |

The lady's prayer Senanus spurn'd | H |
The winds blew fresh the bark return'd | H |
But legends hint that had the maid | I |
Till morning's light delay'd | I |
And given the saint one rosy smile | B |
She ne'er had left his lonely isle | B |
