         A fisherman from Placentia Bay
          From an island home he came
          To centralize in Arnold's Cove
          His life to rearrange
          On the fifth day of September
          He towed his dwelling down
          But who should know before the snow
          That in the bay he drowned
  
                  "The Tragedy of Resettlement" at Frank White's Songs of Newfoundland
                  and Labrador
