The Veil of Banba
 Swedish version Swedish flag 
  Veil of Banba  
  Come to me like the mists of Erin.
Guard me with her ancient dreams.
Enfold me like the veil of Banba.
Cover me with kisses
like her soft, warm rain.
Let me ascend like the haze o'er Conor pass.
 
Among the sheer cliffs of Antrim
I'll discover you, hear your heart beat.
And in the meadows of Kerry I'll fall asleep
with my head resting in your lap.
Like a lover's kiss she seals my lips.
Like a mountain she hides her secrets.
 
Mats O Arvendal, July-Aug 1993
