Death & Dying
The Fall of the Book-Satchels
Translated by George Sigerson (1907) · From Bards of the Gael and Gall (1907)
Death & Dying
Dead is Lon
Of Kilgarad; make ye moan.
Now must Erinn's tribes deplore
Loss of Lore and Schools o'erthrown.
Died hath Lon
Of Kilgarad; make ye moan.
Loss of Lore and Schools o'erthrown
Leave all Erinn's borders lone.
