What news!
the gaelic ones of yore
recalling the first footfall on our talamh eire
those gaelic authors have tugged those strings of words
to melody of music make on the sheaf of a page
to ensure you heard their voice
through the medium of a type writtten eirexo screen
keep the lore telling the tale of the gaelic ones
in any melody of voice or note or letter framed
lest it be forgotten tomorrow
A lot of historical vestiges in this place. I believe this place used to have a lot of historical stories happening. In 1970, many new discoveries became known. These are important findings.
