94 years ago tonight
the new year was
not a beginning
but an end
94 years ago tonight
the end was
not of a year
but of a time
94 years ago tonight
a new beginning
after war
had ended
94 years ago tonight
the new start
foundered
on rocks
94 years ago tonight
the rockets
were fired not for joy
but in distress
94 years ago tonight
each village
lost
in the sinking of the Iolaire
