" There was lifted up one voice of woe,
One lament of more than mortal grief,
Through the wide South to and fro,
For a fallen Chief..."

( "A Lamenttation " C. Mangan )

"The banshee is an attendant sidhe being that follows the old families, and none but them, and wails before a death... " (from "The Banshee, W.B. Yeats)
