Carmina Gadelica, Volume 2, by Alexander Carmicheal, [1900], at sacred-texts.com

THIS verse, the only verse of the poem he could remember, was obtained from John Kane, a native of Ireland. John Kane had many traditional stories of Saint Columba showing that he 'being dead yet speaketh.' These stories were p. 169 vivid and graphic, the probable and improbable, possible and impossible, blending and diffusing throughout.
