Guest guest Posted March 17, 2006 Report Share Posted March 17, 2006 DUNQUIN DINGLE: Church at Dunquin The little house of Our Father at Dunquin was full --no room for more alas words of the Gaelic sorrows words of the Gaelic mass late, I stood outside with others: good women in tight righteous dresses fishermen furrowed there were four I let them pass words of the Gaelic sorrows words of the Gaelic mass the sun was hot on happening flowers and Christ came out his summer door and knelt among us on the grass words of the Gaelic sorrows words of the Gaelic mass. DINGLE: Coumenole — a song O, the beach at Coumenole the latter part of day alone with sand and spray and you to make it whole O, the beach at Coumenole the blue mist and the gray rocks fading up the bay the sunswift of the soul O, the beach at Coumenole the words we cannot say sea-dappled miles away on the beach at Coumenole! DINGLE: St. 's Eve Down in the water the glittering heron stands the darkling ribbons of the night fall upon the sands high fingerbones, the Standing Stones command the moonlit strands the child at Kilmakeldar sleeps soft upon his hands twice safe, Christpagan safe from timeless time's demands. DINGLE: West of Ireland – Stones Stones are what God gives us here: the druid on his tor the hermit at his beehive hut laid on them wisdom lore stones last as long as death sure, and I'll be knowing now whatever death is for 'tis to make the things we stood for stand for more. a.o.howell Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
