FAREWELL TO SABLE ISLAND

Twelve months in any place, my friends, is quite a weary while,

And seems more like a century when spent on Sable Isle.

………

And when I have grown old and have grey hair beneath my cap

Before I kick the bucket with a loud and fatal rap

I’ll drag my feeble limbs aboard the boat when sailing’s nigh

And have another look at Sable Isle before I die.

For when I’ve seen the breakers pound along that sandy length

The thought of what a hell-on-earth it is will give me strength

And when the Devil lets me into Tophet with a curse,

I’ll tell him, “Nick, it ain’t so bad, I’ve seen a place that’s worse!”
