With whispered words and straining eyes.

One hush of awe, and then once more

The vision fades for them and me,

And there is laughter on the shore,

And silent duty on the sea.

THE WRECK ON LOCH McGARRY

If you should search all Scotland round,

The mainland, skerries, and the islands,

A grimmer spot could not be found

Than Loch McGarry in the Highlands.
