“Tell me no more of the maiden!”
Cuchullin, the war-chief of Erin, replied:
—“Peace to the souls of the heroes!
Their prowess was great in the conflict of swords;
Let them glide by my chariot in war!
Let their spirits appear in the clouds o'er the valley!
So shall my breast be undaunted in danger!

So shall my breast be undaunted in danger!
“Be thou like a moon-beam, O Morna!
When my sight is beginning to fail;
When my soul is reposing in peace,
And the tumult of war is no more.”
When my sight is beginning to fail;
When my soul is reposing in peace,
And the tumult of war is no more.”
