Sad I am sad indeed nor small my	A
cause of woe Kirmor thou hast	B
lost no son thou hast lost no daughter	C
of beauty Connar the valiant lives	D
and Annir the fairest of maids The	E
boughs of thy family flourish O Kirmor	C
but Armyn is the last of his	F
race	G
	-
Rise winds of autumn rise blow	H
upon the dark heath streams of the	E
mountains roar howl ye tempests	G
in the trees walk through broken	I
clouds O moon show by intervals thy	A
pale face bring to my mind that sad	J
night when all my children fell when	K
Arindel the mighty fell when Daura	C
the lovely died	L
	-
Daura my daughter thou wert	M
fair fair as the moon on the hills of	N
Jura white as the driven snow sweet as	G
the breathing gale Armor renowned in	O
war came and fought Daura's love he	P
was not long denied fair was the hope	Q
of their friends	G
	-
Earch son of Odgal repined for	C
his brother was slain by Armor He	P
came disguised like a son of the sea	P
fair was his skiff on the wave white	R
his locks of age calm his serious brow	C
Fairest of women he said lovely daughter	C
of Armyn a rock not distant in	O
the sea bears a tree on its side red	S
shines the fruit afar There Armor	C
waiteth for Daura I came to fetch	T
his love Come fair daughter of Armyn	O
	-
She went and she called on Armor	C
Nought answered but the son of the	E
rock Armor my love my love	N
why tormentest thou me with fear	C
come graceful son of Arduart come	U
it is Daura who calleth thee Earch	T
the traitor fled laughing to the land	V
She lifted up her voice and cried for	C
her brother and her father Arindel	H
Armyn none to relieve your Daura	C
	-
Her voice came over the sea Arindel	H
my son descended from the hill	H
rough in the spoils of the chace His	G
arrows rattled by his side his bow was	G
in his hand five grey dogs attended	W
his steps He saw fierce Earch on the	E
shore he seized and bound him to an	O
oak Thick fly the thongs of the hide	L
around his limbs he loads the wind	X
with his groans	G
	-
Arindel ascends the surgy deep in	O
his boat to bring Daura to the land	V
Armor came in his wrath and let fly	H
the grey feathered shaft It sung it	Y
sunk in thy heart O Arindel my son	O
for Earch the traitor thou diedst What	Z
is thy grief O Daura when round	A2
thy feet is poured thy brother's blood	W
	-
The boat is broken in twain by the	E
waves Armor plunges into the sea to	B2
rescue his Daura or die Sudden a blast	B
from the hill comes over the waves	G
He sunk and he rose no more	C
	-
Alone on the sea beat rock my	H
daughter was heard to complain Frequent	C2
and loud were her cries nor	C
could her father relieve her All	H
night I stood on the shore All night I	H
heard her cries Loud was the wind	X
and the rain beat hard on the side of the	E
mountain Before morning appeared	D2
her voice was weak It died away like	E2
the evening breeze among the grass of	N
the rocks Spent with grief she expired	F2
O lay me soon by her side	L
	-
When the storms of the mountain	O
come when the north lifts the waves	G
on high I sit by the sounding shore	C
and look on the fatal rock Often by	H
the setting moon I see the ghosts of	N
my children Indistinct they walk in	O
mournful conference together Will	H
none of you speak to me But they	G2
do not regard their father	C
