Its storm for us shall howl no more,

Our time on gloomy Moyle is ended.

Three hundred sunless summers past,

We leave at length this loveless billow;

Where oft we felt the icy blast,

And made the shelving crag our pillow.

Still on our lingering night of pain,

Far distant beams the dawn of gladness;

Light ease beside the western main

Awaits our long accustomed sadness.
