   Solas Amháin

   Solas Amháin Solas amháin, A little light of one... Hmmm, hues of absolute certainty... An intertwined fate, laminated by will, A little unfree for this physical fiend.

24. The Origin of the Harp by Thomas Moore

    I believe Thomas Moore wrote this poem to an old Irish folk song. I had trouble identifying the exact song that's closest to it so went for whatever I felt compositionally.
