The Cloud-woman, Mor, was the daughter

Of Griann, the Sun,--well, and she

Made a marriage to equal that grandeur,

For her Goodman was Lir, the Sea.

The Cloud-woman Mor, she had seven

Strong sons, and the story-books say

Their inches grew in the night-time,

And grew over again in the day.

The Cloud-woman Mor,--as they grew in

Their bone, she grew in her pride,

Till her haughtiness turned away, men say,

Her goodman Lir from her side;

Then she lived in Mor’s Home and she watched

With pride her sons and her crop,

Till one day the wish in her grew

To view from the mountain-top

All, all that she owned, so she

Traveled without any stop.
