    Nor lives one bard to grace thy story
    Mighty O'Neill are thine eyes closed
    That keenly blazed in battles danger
    Weak is that arm so long opposed
    To Erin's foes her great avenger
    Near what lone river are ye laid
    Ye great O'Donnell of the mountains
    Or do ye roam like me dismayed
    Or mourn by the moon light fountains
    Green is thy grave, without a stone
    Enclosed by the blue rolling waters
    Yet long shall thy dear
