Seven years before that awful day,

When time shall be no more,

A watery deluge will o'ersweep

Hibernia's mossy shore.

The green clad Isla too shall sink,

While with the great and good,

Columba's happy isle shall rear

Her towers above the flood.

This prophecy is said to be the reason why so many kings of Scotland, Norway, and Ireland have selected Icombkill for the place of their interment.
