His Lament For O'kelly Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: A B C| There's no dew or grass on Cluan Leathan The cuckoo is not to be seen on the furze the leaves are withering and the trees complaining of the cold There is no sun or moon in the air or in the sky or no light in the stars coming down with the stretching of O'Kelly in the grave | A |
| - | |
| My grief to tell it he to be laid low the man that did not bring grief or trouble on any heart that would give help to those that were down | B |
| - | |
| No light on the day like there was the fruits not growing no children on the breast there's no return in the grain the plants don't blossom as they used since O'Kelly with the fair hair went away he that used to forgive us a great share of the rent Since the children of Usnach and Deirdre went to the grave and Cuchulain who as the stories tell us would gain victory in every step he would take since he died such a story never came of sorrow or defeat since the Gael were sold at Aughrim and since Owen Roe died the Branch | C |
