Set for St. Alban'sA Poem by Desert KnaveA little write inspired by Halloween's approachYou can pull up the ladders, Jack The rest of them aren't worth the wait All that matters is our freight We can't afford to be late You can hoist up all the sails, mate We've our Master's coffin below We must get him home, you know We've many miles to go You can set sail for St. Alban's, boys We will have a fortune to share Once we've gotten there And we've little time to spare You can pray to Saint Brendan, son For we've got the undead below We must get him home, you know To collect all we are owed You can pull up the ladders, Jack Where we sail there is no way back
