Sir Richard's tomb in silence sleeps The day has broken fair Then tourists come ashore and shout 'I wonder what's in there?' 'Some dust or bones, a skull, a sword?' I doubt they even care But others visit Richie's tomb And stare a silent prayer.

On Seeing Tourists Visit the Tomb of Sir Richard de Moravia, Dornoch
Sir Richard's tomb in silence sleeps The day has broken fair Then tourists come ashore and shout 'I wonder what's in there?' 'Some dust or bones, a skull, a sword?' I doubt they even care But others visit Richie's tomb And stare a silent prayer.
