You sang of Aird Ui Chumhaing
Beautiful land of dreams
Far across the deep
Water the wide partition
Between memory and desire
Now you are removed from us
And know the secrets of time
Of space and eternity
But in that same moment
We know that there floats
Your song's music evermore
Across the starry
Dark, deep fields of heaven.
