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.
