Little white changeling, Brigidin Ban?

Carried you off in the ring of the dawn,

Laid like a queen on her purple car,

Carried you back ’twixt the night and the day;

Gave you that fortune of flaxen hair,

Gave you those eyes of wandering fire,

Lit at the wheel of the southern star;

Gave you that look so far away,

Lip so waxen and cheek so wan?

Tell me, tell me, Brigidin Ban,
