Poetry
“Our Gaelic speech has a high repute ¶ It speaks as soft as breathes the flute.”
Our Gaelic speech has a high repute
It speaks as soft as breathes the flute.
It sings like love notes of the lute.
And shines like letters golden.
No tongue on earth could e'er compare
In tuneful note and cadence rare
And O to hear its accents, whereIn song and tale
Through Innishfail
Of mighty kings and chiefs it sings
Of Erinns nation olden.- Collector
