Pharais; and, The Mountain Lovers

by William Sharp

"Buainams' thu thoranain

Le'd uile bheannachd's le'd uile bhuaidh—"

Let me pluck thee, Torranan!

With all thy blessedness and all thy virtue.

The nine blessings came with the nine parts,

By the virtue of the Torranan.

The hand of St. Bride with me.

I am now to pluck thee.

Let me pluck thee, Torranan!

With thine increase as to sea and land;
