Bean Sí

The wailing woman on the Cliffs of Moher

Alarms the locals at Liscannor

Why does she whine so whistfully for?

As the clock strikes, twenty three : fifty four


Fifteen eighty eight supplies the answer

For the neverending necromancer

As the Spanish fleet, wrecked. Disaster

And souls lost at sea can never answer


With cracked complexion Bean Sí keens

As the bay is filled with her selfish screams

Cliff and ocean survey the scenes

For sailors souls and desperate dreams


Her fate is one of a living dread

As red hair shrieks from her raucous head

To outlive the land and ocean-bed

Without mortal coil to make her dead.
