Song of the Lady of the Fair Hair

Song of the Lady of the Fair Hair

Reminiscence of an Old Man

"O Lady of the Fair Hair,
Sing to me of the fair ancient land.
Your divine voice
Whispers the poetry of magic
that flows through the wind,
Like sweet-tasting water of the Boyne.

"Girls, forever young and beautiful,
Dancing around the broken dun,
Where long forgotten heroes
sang of victory
And drank ale
to old memories.

"Sing to me one last time,
Goddess of the Fair Hair,
Before my old ears fail me.
Let me see you dance,
Before your beauty fades away
from my failing sight."
