Planxty Morgaine -Briana nic h'Eusaidh, Fili n'An Tir
She is wise and free, She's good to me She holds my heart in her hand She is light and love She's the grey Dove She is the Life of The Land
And in her heart, and in her heart She bears the wedding ring He looks to her, He loves her With her, he is ever King.
She is formed in Grace, She's fair of face She walks light as the dew With her hair unbound, Children around Every breath does Life renew
And in her eyes, and in her eyes Shines bright her love so true He looks to her, He loves her Every breath does Faith renew.
