THE DEATH OF SUALTEM
And there he saw Sualtem shouting still
The message of Muirevne 'mid the sound
Of hurried buddings and uneasy horse.
At sight of him the Lia-Macha wheeled,
So that Sualtem fell upon his shield,
And his grey head came shouting to the ground.
They buried him by moonlight on the hill,
And all about him waves the heavy gorse.
