Translated by George Sigerson (1907) · From Bards of the Gael and Gall (1907)
Mythology & Folklore
Welcome Cuchulainn,
Dawn of Deliv'rance,
Proud prince of Murtemni's plain,
Mind noble and great,
Chieftain victorious,
Heart of Honour,
Strong Stone of Valour,
In battle-wrath glorious,
Guide of courage in Ulad.
All beauty arrayed in,
Light on the eyes of each maiden
Welcome!
Welcome, Cuchulainn!
