Looking For A Tune For An Old Lyric


sympathy

Recommended Posts

I have this lyric:

 

Comes a wind from Steelfells brow

Striking chill the rock and slough

Strikes the death cold body now

Of the king Dunmail

 

Slain the king of Cumberland

Broken spirited men disband

Malcom's forces , Edmunds hand

Slew the king Dunmail

 

Weary prisoners gathered stones

Arranged them around their masters bones

marking still the final groans

Of the king Dunmail

 

Dunmails sons were brought to hand

Saxon Edmund waved his hand

Blind their eyes with firebrand

Sons of king Dunmail .....................

 

but no melody.

 

Anybody ever heard of it?

 

I want to perform the song in a week or two so, if I can't find the original tune, any tune suggestions would be welcome
