Rivers Slaney, Dargle and Vartry, throw a dart
One cannot fail to hit some place of great sanctity and grace
To live in such a dappled, wondrous place, its friendly denizens are grateful
Here the wilds show us what Ireland is capable of being, with a cape of green
A Goddess like a queen with a dress of leaves and climber tapers, at capers
With goat-legged satyrs, we must return to older ways, of glade and of glaive
Of grape and grain and of miracles and living Gods and their regular manifestation.
