SONG.
The song of the Fairy woman foreboded great calamity, and men did not like to hear it. Scott calls it
“The fatal Banshi’s boding scream,”
“The fatal Banshi’s boding scream,”
“The fatal Banshi’s boding scream,”
“The fatal Banshi’s boding scream,”
but it was not a scream, only a wailing murmur (torman mulaid) of unearthly sweetness and melancholy.
