My eyes find their rest on this garden
Is touching the sacred earth
Warming the hallowed ground
The sight that knows no fear
I look over Orinsay to the Trumisgarry shore
Is touching the sacred earth
Warming the hallowed ground
I survive the childhood universe
And I step the naked heath
Where the breathing of the vanished
Lies in acres round my feet
Past Loch Scadavagh Loch Fada
And the flatlands to the east
Where the dark blue mass of Eval
Meets the rising Rock of Lee
Between the Crogary and Maairi
Loch Aongais on my left hand side
Collies barking on the outrun
Dunlin dancing on the sand
Breakers show round Corran Vallique
And empty the Atlantic on the strand
Is touching the sacred earth
Warming the hallowed ground
