Cruckhaun Finn

H. Hughes

“Tonight you see my face.

Maybe never more you'll gaze

On the man that left you for his friends and kin,

For by the hard command of the Lord that rules the land

On a ship I'll be borne from Cruckhaun Finn.”

“You know your beauty bright

Has made him think delight

More than from any fair one he will gain.

You know that all his will strains and strives around you till

As the hawk upon his hand you are as tame.”

She then to him replied,

“I'll no longer you deny,

And I'll let you have the pleasure of my charms.

It's now I'll be your bride, let whatever will betide,

And it's we will lie in one another's arms.”
