XXXIV. Skerryvore

FOR love of lovely words, and for the sake

Of those, my kinsmen and my countrymen,

Who early and late in the windy ocean toiled

To plant a star for seamen, where was then

The surfy haunt of seals and cormorants;

I, on the lintel of this cot, inscribe

The name of a strong tower.
