Man, turn your face from the Lianhan Shee
\nFall not for her, though fair be her charms
\nIt will bring you death, say the Pavee
\nShould you take her in your arms…
\nFair she is – a maiden fine
\nLakeen fairer rarely seen
\nTo T\u00edr na n\u00d3g she’ll take you man
\nTo where many before you have been.<\/p>\n
He who desires her, will her alone love
\nAnd it will take his life
\nHe will pass over to the Otherworld
\nTo make she desired his wife.
\nOnly to find there this fair Lackeen
\nThat none describe, she shall not his wife be…
\nSo guard yourself from maidens fair
\nThey might be the Lianhan Shee!!!<\/p>\n
