BLESSED COLUMBA AND THE HORSE
They led the horse away
Unto his manger brown.
Three days the sorrel-gray
Let the big tears fall down.
Three days the horse did mourn;
The fourth day-dawn came faint:
Iona woke forlorn,
But Heaven received its saint.
Unto his manger brown.
Three days the sorrel-gray
Let the big tears fall down.
Three days the horse did mourn;
The fourth day-dawn came faint:
Iona woke forlorn,
But Heaven received its saint.
