‘In dark Loch-an-Darroch, beneath the stark crags, Our Seónaid found no rest.

How should MacQuill sleep in MacArbin water?

How should a lioness find peace in the lair of a badger?

Would the proud eagle who nests on Ben Seoch Seek shelter in the pigeon house?

Seónaid was ours from the day when we took her, Our courage and cunning won her from our foes.

Brave Hector bore her home upon his black steed, And the skies flashed and thundered.

Lovely as the night was Seónaid – Her hair floated upon the waters of Darroch, Like a black cloud it floated round her, And like a water lily was her face.

She came back from the grave, And brought fear to the black hearts of MacArbin.

They looked upon her and trembled.

Take her up and bring her safely home,

To her true home by the dashing river Quill, Which comes down from Ben Seoch like a lion seeking its prey, And all who drink of it are filled with courage.

Bring her home to her own people who loved her well.

Lay her down gently in the kindly warm earth.

Hector the brave, and Seónaid the beautiful –

Together they sleep in the shade of the holly.’
