JAMES CONNOLLY {Living)
THE SONG OF ILANN
From " Ilann and Aine."
I
LOVED the High King's Daughter; Ah, she was fair to see ! Nine royal champions sought her For queenly company.
Brooches and silks they brought her
And gems from oversea, But Aine, the High King's Daughter,
Received them haughtily.
A cunning charm I wrought her
Of gold and findruinie, As Danaan lore I taught her
Under the hazel-tree.
But far away one brought her
To a great dun by the sea, And there the High King's Daughter
Drooped wan for misery.
And all in vain I sought her
That was so fair to see, For Aine, the High King's Daughter,
Had died for love of me. |
