Beyond the Toll of the Dying Year




         And I shall go
         with the sea waves passing
         Upon the ship
         of Manan Mac Lyr
         Beneath a sky
         with storm clouds massing
         Beyond the toll
         of the dying year








And I shall stand
with the Brightly Shining
Within the Hall
of Manan Mac Lyr
Where my kindred gather
in joyous dining
Beyond the toll
of the dying year












And I shall lie down
on the Isle of Blessing
Upon the breast
of Manan Mac Lyr
Replete to my soul
with his gentle caressing
Beyond the toll
of the dying year
