    That fateful omen of his race
    That herald of his death
    He's gone - and now that weird wild wail
    O'er Tyrconnell's hills away
    Went crying on the midnight gale
    To the dark land of the fay
    Our treasure there in churchyard near
    That mighty chieftain's wail
    We buried him whilst flowed the tear
    From many a grief-struck Gael
