  1. Long, long ago, beyond the misty space
    Of twice a thousand years,
    In Erin old there there dwelt a mighty race,
    Taller than Roman spears;
    Like oaks and towers they had a giant grace,
    Were fleet as deers,
    With winds and waves they made their biding-place
    Those western shepherd seers.
