werewolf The night started a scene,
the fire brought a crowd in.
They say that her beauty was like
music in love.
And few in the candlelight thought her too proud.
The house of the planter is known by the trees.
And men who had seen her drank deep and were silent.
The women were talking wherever she went.
Like a gong that has rung, or a wonder told shyly.
And oh...she was the sunday of every week.

mon Ar éirinn Ní n-Eósainn Cé h
Aréir is mé téarnamh um' neoin
Ar an dtaobh thall den teóra 'na mbím,
Do théarnaig an spéir-bhean im' chómhair
D'fhág taomanach breóite lag sinn.
Do ghéilleas dá méin is dá cló,
Dá béal tanaí beó mhilis binn,
Do léimeas fé dhéin dul 'na cómhair,
Is ar éirinn ní n-eósainn cé h-í.

no reason i went to see austin clarke read at my school this past year. he apparently swiched parts of his story around because he was adamant on including chicken wings, and needed a proper place for them. 030706
