IRISH SONGS AND LYRICS 321
No hero now where heroes hurled — Long this night the clouds delay — No man like me in all the world, Alone with grief, and gray.
Long this night the clouds delay — I raise their grave-earn, stone on stone, For Fionn and Fianna passed away — I, Ossian, left alone.
DEUS MEUS
From the Irish of Maelisu.

Pour, loving King, thy love in it, Pour, loving King, thy love in it, In meum cor ut sanum sit.
