"Lover, dear lover, I've had a fell dream,   My mother's adrift on the sea!   My brothers have left her alone in the gale -   There's no one to save her but me."      "Oisín, Oisín, lay down your fair head   I've given you gold and I've given my bed,   And your mother lies sleeping; she's well and she's hale."      "Lover, dear lover, she's crying my name,   My mother's adrift on the sea!   There's none to protect her, no oar and no sail -   There's no one to save her but me."      "Oisín, Oisín, another will come   I've given you riches, I'll give you a son   And your mother is singing; she's well and she's hale."      "Lover, dear lover, there are tears on her gown,   My mother's adrift on the sea!   Her sons have all left her, I cannot now fail -   There's no one to save her but me."      "Oisín, Oisín, you've seen an untruth   I've given you kingship, I've given you youth   And your mother has comfort; she's well and she's hale."
