O' Ye Mermaids, Splashed Across Yon-Rocks... Poem by Michael Gale

O' ye mermaids splashed across yon rocks...
For do they sing their song-Afar be the star'ved loches.

Minstrel ladies sing aloud...Sailor's ahoy-Bounding through.

Time away spent fro' drowning boats...Fear all fear fro' foaming floats.

Rocky jagged ladies be...Assaulting men of shell-uh-by.

Ears so hammered to what deafness? ...Loving guy, that hath left us.

Widowed women on the shore...No more man to be-of moore.

Alas thy blue-ened lads begone...Never to be beyond my dawn.
