The years they passed like a flowing stream | |
in a highland vale shrouded in green. | |
The Fianna marched with Fionn at their helm, | |
though older and wiser this lord of the realm. | |
He was loyal to his king, Cormac Mac Art | |
and to his daughter would give his heart. | |
Her name was Grainne, noble and fair, | |
but to marry Fionn she would not dare. | |
A feast was prepared in Tara’s great halls, | |
marriage banners adorned on the walls. | |
Grainne sat pale as the feast began | |
then she spied Diarmuid and to him she ran. | |
“My heart is filled with longing for you” | |
she whispered to Diarmuid, he knew not what to do. | |
“Grainne, so fair, with eyes like the sun, | |
please, do not tempt me; do not anger Fionn.” | |
She did not listen and she did not care; | |
she enchanted Diarmuid with her fiery stare. | |
He was under a geis to do what she pleased, | |
(though) he did not resist or ask for release. | |
During the night when the Fianna did sleep, | |
through Tara’s great halls, the lovers did creep. | |
They fled through the night, to where they knew not, | |
away from Fionn. They dared not stop. | |
The cry of hounds they heard in the night. | |
They ran until they were far from sight. | |
Days became weeks and still they fled; | |
if caught by Fionn, they would both be dead. | |
One night as they lay in a forest so dark, | |
they pledged their love, gave each other their heart. | |
They made love that night on a bed of grass, | |
two lovers united, never to part. | |
For a year and a half, the chase went on. | |
Wherever Fionn looked, the lovers were gone. | |
They were aided by Aengus, many a time. | |
He was father of Diarmuid, a warrior fine. | |
Aengus grew tired of this bitter pursuit; | |
he met Fionn and the king to try end the dispute. | |
Neither were pleased, but they did agree. | |
They could live in peace; they were now free. | |
Fionn relented and gave them some land. | |
They lived in peace and all was grand. | |
Years passed by and the lovers grew old; | |
they had four sons who grew mighty and bold. | |
Diarmuid longed to go hunting with Fionn, | |
like in the old days, when they were young. | |
One fateful night, he opened the door; | |
there stood Fionn; they were friends once more. | |
There was feasting that night and stories told. | |
The two merry men remembered the battles of old. | |
They planned to go hunting at first light, | |
though Diarmuid heard cries throughout the night. | |
The Boar was a beast he would not hunt, | |
from the wildest swine to the smallest runt. | |
To kill it would bring his own demise. | |
This curse he had carried all his life. | |
When morning came, Diarmuid set out. | |
He remembered those cries and was filled with doubt. | |
He came upon Fionn at the top of a hill. | |
There was blood on his hands; he looked ready to kill. | |
“A boar is loose, it has killed my hound.” | |
Fionn pointed to the beast that lay on the ground. | |
There then came a crash and the boar attacked. | |
It struck Diarmuid hard and broke his back. | |
As he fell down, he stabbed the boar. | |
He killed the beast; it was no more. | |
“Fionn, help me, I’m dying and you have the gift | |
of healing, get water, I’m starting to drift.” | |
Fionn ran to the stream and cupped his hand, | |
but the water fell through and soaked into the sand. | |
He tried again, this time with success, | |
but when he returned Diarmuid was dead. | |
Grainne fell ill when she heard he was dead. | |
She cursed Fionn and Fianna, oh, how her heart bled. | |
“Diarmuid, sweet Diarmuid, I will always love thee; | |
I will never forget the way you loved me.” | |
She lived on her own for some time on her land, | |
until Fionn did come to ask for her hand. | |
This time she agreed; Fionn had mended his ways. | |
They went to Kildare to see out their days. |
