For the future I cease, Death approaches with little delay, Since the dragons of Laune and Lane and Lee are destroyed; I’ll follow the heroes far from the light of day, The princes my ancestors followed before Christ died.
Egan O'Rahilly Quotes
That my old bitter heart was pierced in this black doom, That foreign devils have made our land a tomb, That the sun that was Munster’s glory has gone down Has made me a beggar before you, Valentine Brown.
