Lindisfarne

On the last day of August, his feast is still observed Aidan, Saint of Lindisfarne, bringer of the word. Bearer of the torch on that Northumbrian shore, Which twice a day and for six hours or more Becomes an island refuge and its rocky core Holds fast the remnants of his cathedral there. And Lindisfarne the singers, a song of theirs I know Based on a tale of terror by Edgar Allan Poe. I don't recall the name of that particular song But it's all right now for it won't be long before I get the picture. The house of Usher Fell, the effect of psychotic behaviour. St Aidan's love was never set in stone His fame endures though his house is mostly gone.
