Ferdia’s Song

"Everything I say" Cuchulainn cried,
"Is larger far than life itself".
But Ferdia just grinned and shook his golden hair.

"And everything I do is ringed about
With fantasy." But Ferdia just laughed
And shook his silver spear and fell to battle again.

"Every step I take" Cuchulainn cried,
"Is measured out in centuries".
But Ferdia just laughed and shook his golden mane.

"And now I must make my stand; for your death
Is my destiny." But Ferdia just laughed
And shook his silver spear and fell to battle again
