A Rann I Made (Author: Pádraic H. Pearse)

p.320

1. 1] A rann I made within my heart
   2] To the rider, to the high king,
   3] A rann I made to my love,
   4] To the king of kings, ancient death.
2. 5] Brighter to me than light of day
   6] The dark of thy house, tho' black clay;
   7] Sweeter to me than the music of trumpets
   8] The quiet of thy house and its eternal silence.
