THE LAND OF FAL by JAMES STEPHENS

First Line: IF POESY HAVE TRUTH AT ALL
Last Line: TO GREAT O NEILL!
Subject(s): IRELAND; IRISH;

If poesy have truth at all,
And if a Lion of the Gael
Shall rule the Lovely Land of Fal!
O yellow mast! O roaring sail!
Carry a message o'er the sea!
Carry the leadership from me
To great O Neill!
