Your bitter lot shall be.”

Prayed the soul of Karnaghan Buidhe

(The trembling soul of Karnaghan Buidhe)

“Dear Lord, who died on Calvary,

Too brief that span of heaven for me.”

Then spoke the Lord: “For as many years

As numbered sands on the shore,

The joys of heaven I give—but thence

You’ll see my face no more.”

Pleaded the soul of Karnaghan Buidhe
