‘He is well out of wind and wave;

They have heaped the stones above his grave

In Muirthemne, and over it

In changeless Ogham letters writ—

Baile, that was of Rury’s seed.

‘But the gods long ago decreed

No waiting maid should ever spread

Baile and Aillinn’s marriage bed,

For they should clip and clip again

Where wild bees hive on the Great Plain.
