"The Vale of Laidh, Oh in the Vale of Laidh, I used to sleep under soft coverlet; fish and venison and the fat of the badger were my repast in the Vale of Laidh. "The Vale of Masan, oh the Vale of Masan, high its harts-tongue, fair its stalks, we used to enjoy a rocking sleep above the grassy verge of Masan.[5] "The vale of Eiti, oh the vale of Eiti! In it I raised my first house, lovely was its wood (when seen) on rising, the milking-house of the sun was the vale of Eiti. "Glendarua, oh Glendarua! my love to every one who enjoys it; sweet the voice of the cuckoo upon bending bough upon the cliff above Glendarua. "Dear is Droighin over the strong shore.

After that she has a terrifying dream, and tells it to them, but Naoise answered lightly in verse-- "Thy mouth pronounceth not but evil, O maiden, beautiful, incomparable; The venom of thy delicate ruby mouth Fall on the hateful furious foreigners." Thereafter, as they advanced farther upon their way towards King Conor's palace at Emania, the omens of evil grow thicker still, and all Déirdre's terrors are re-awakened by the rising of a blood-red cloud. "'O Naoise, view the cloud That I see here on the sky, I see over Emania green A chilling cloud of blood-tinged red. I have caught alarm from the cloud I see here in the sky, It is like a gore-clot of blood, The cloud terrific very-thin.'"
