FINOVAR.
O flame blown out of Tir-nan-Oge,White flame borne on enchanted air,O heart's delight and heart's despair,   O Finovar O Finovar!
Draw the white shroud above her faceAnd cover up her close-shut eyes,She will not hear a voice that cries   O Finovar! O Finovar!
O love, that none of us might winBy strange, lone ways to us you cameAnd lone you go, White Heart of Flame.   O Finovar! O Finovar!
Pale face that haunted all our dreams,Sad face made sadder by our love,We could but draw the shroud above.   O Finovar! O Finovar!
Frail hands no mortal lover kissed,Fair folded now as Death beseemsYou hide away the dream of dreams.   O Finovar! O Finovar!
