Egan O Rahilly
Here in a distant place I hold my tongue;
I am O Rahilly!
When I was young,
Who now am young no more,
I did not eat things picked up from the shore:
The periwinkle, and the tough dog-fish
At even-tide have got into my dish!
The great, where are they now! the great had said--
This is not seemly! Bring to him instead
That which serves his and serves our dignity--
And that was done.
I am O Rahilly!
Here in a distant place he holds his tongue,
Who once said all his say, when he was young!
I am O Rahilly!
When I was young,
Who now am young no more,
I did not eat things picked up from the shore:
The periwinkle, and the tough dog-fish
At even-tide have got into my dish!
The great, where are they now! the great had said--
This is not seemly! Bring to him instead
That which serves his and serves our dignity--
And that was done.
I am O Rahilly!
Here in a distant place he holds his tongue,
Who once said all his say, when he was young!
