But Fionn cried out Bitter that song. Chaunt us of spear and skeen, How one sleety day on Sliabh na mbhan our hounds Broke from the dripping bushes and a boar Sprang, he stopped. They heard strange trampled sounds And heavy breaths upon the night outside, But Fionn bent his grey head, smiling, his mind Druid-dark. The dagger guarded door Was turned by Kerns and with a shriek the wind Rushed in on them, laughingly Diarmuid cried Surely O Warriors our feast is good.
