Grianan Ailigh Poem by Liam ó Comáin
Grianan Ailigh
Prior to Solomon
Raising the temple
Or Rome shadowing
The Tiber
An Grianan witnessed
Human sacrifice
And the installation
Of Kings.
Patrick and Colm Cille
Graced its ramparts
And to the sound
Of cannons from the
Walls of Derry
A silent witness.
A sentinel to the lives
Of a tribal society
And a peasant people
An Grianan’s stones
If only they could speak
Could show us
The folly of human ways.
