The Glenart Castle
Was steaming home
On a cold February
night
In 1918
The hospital ship
Headed for safe haven
Her lights green
Clearly visible
Against the dark
horizon
Red lamps lit her side
rail
Her masthead light
burned bright
Fishermen could see
her
Red Cross light
Then a torpedo struct
her
In the number the hold
In eight minutes
She was gone
With a 162 souls
