Was quenched in dust. ’Mid Uladh’s hills5

A clearer ray the Herdsman-Slave

Allured, as by the limpid rills

He mused above the Pagan’s grave,

Or, standing on the mountain-scaur,

Beheld the Angel of his Dream10

Through sunlit flying storms afar

Fade into heaven, a phantom gleam.

His holier fire with sleepless hand,

By shadowed lake, in sheltering woods,
