I walked entrancedA
Through a land of MornB
The sun with wondrous excess of lightC
Shone down and glancedA
Over seas of cornB
And lustrous gardens aleft and rightC
Even in the climeD
Of resplendent SpainE
Beams no such sun upon such a landF
But it was the timeD
'T was in the reignE
Of Cahal M oacute r of the Wine red HandF
-
Anon stood nighG
By my side a manH
Of princely aspect and port sublimeD
Him queried IG
Oh my Lord and KhanI
What clime is this and what golden timeD
When he The climeD
Is a clime to praiseJ
The clime is Erin's the green and blandF
And it is the timeD
These be the daysJ
Of Cahal M oacute r of the Wine red HandF
-
Then saw I thronesJ
And circling firesJ
And a Dome rose near me as by a spellK
Whence flowed the tonesJ
Of silver lyresJ
And many voices in wreath egrave d swellK
And their thrilling chimeD
Fell on mine earsJ
As the heavenly hymn of an angel bandF
It is now the timeD
These be the yearsJ
Of Cahal M oacute r of the Wine red HandF
-
I sought the hallL
And behold a changeM
From light to darkness from joy to woeN
Kings nobles allL
Looked aghast and strangeM
The minstrel group sate in dumbest showN
Had some great crimeD
Wrought this dread amazeJ
This terror None seemed to understandF
'Twas then the timeD
We were in the daysJ
Of Cahal M oacute r of the Wine red HandF
-
I again walked forthO
But lo the skyG
Showed flecked with blood and an alien sunP
Glared from the northO
And there stood on highG
Amid his shorn beams a skeletonP
It was by the streamD
Of the castled MaineE
One Autumn eve in the Teuton's landF
That I dreamed this dreamD
Of the time and reignE
Of Cahal M oacute r of the Wine red HandF
