I suppose we could start off in a whole new direction by quoting (with phonetics for examination of the rhyme-scheme) and translating the song that every Irish schoolchild of Kavanagh's generation learned, which is the original of the tune, Fáinne Gheal an Lae (Bright Dawning of the Day), an aisling, as far as I remember. Of course Kavanagh was a great man for the spéirmná.
