about
Lara remembers listening to this song as a childhood bedtime lullaby. "Love is Lord of All" may have sounded sweet as a child, however the lennan-shee was the mythical beautiful muse of Irish folklore who gave inspiration to a human artist in exchange for love and devotion, ending in a destructive, all-consuming love relationship.
lyrics
My Lagan Love:
Where Lagan stream sings lullaby
There blows a lily fair
The twilight gleam is in her eye
The night is on her hair
And like a love-sick lennan-shee
She has my heart in thrall
Nor life I owe nor liberty
For love is lord of all.
And often when the beetle's horn
Hath lulled the eve to sleep
I steal unto her shieling lorn
And thru the dooring creep
There on the cricket's singing stone
She makes the bogwood fire
And sings in sweet and undertone
The songs of heart's desire
Nor life I owe nor liberty
For love is lord of all
For love is lord of all…
