Through a land of Morn | B |
The sun with wondrous excess of light | C |
Shone down and glanced | A |
Over seas of corn | B |
And lustrous gardens aleft and right | C |
Even in the clime | D |

Beams no such sun upon such a land | F |

Anon stood nigh | G |
By my side a man | H |
Of princely aspect and port sublime | D |
Him queried I | G |
Oh my Lord and Khan | I |
What clime is this and what golden time | D |
When he The clime | D |
Is a clime to praise | J |
The clime is Erin's the green and bland | F |
And it is the time | D |
These be the days | J |
Of Cahal M oacute r of the Wine red Hand | F |

Then saw I thrones | J |
And circling fires | J |
And a Dome rose near me as by a spell | K |
Whence flowed the tones | J |
Of silver lyres | J |
And many voices in wreath egrave d swell | K |
And their thrilling chime | D |
Fell on mine ears | J |
As the heavenly hymn of an angel band | F |
It is now the time | D |

I sought the hall | L |
And behold a change | M |
From light to darkness from joy to woe | N |
Kings nobles all | L |
Looked aghast and strange | M |
The minstrel group sate in dumbest show | N |
Had some great crime | D |
Wrought this dread amaze | J |
This terror None seemed to understand | F |
'Twas then the time | D |
We were in the days | J |
Of Cahal M oacute r of the Wine red Hand | F |
- | |
I again walked forth | O |
But lo the sky | G |
Showed flecked with blood and an alien sun | P |
Glared from the north | O |
And there stood on high | G |
Amid his shorn beams a skeleton | P |
It was by the stream | D |
Of the castled Maine | E |
One Autumn eve in the Teuton's land | F |
That I dreamed this dream | D |
Of the time and reign | E |
Of Cahal M oacute r of the Wine red Hand | F |
