| 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 |
| Of resplendent Spain | E |
| Beams no such sun upon such a land | F |
| But it was the time | D |
| 'T was in the reign | E |
| Of Cahal M oacute r of the Wine red Hand | 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 |
| These be the years | J |

| 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 |
