The Dream Poem by Liam ó Comáin

At dusk across the fields
I saw the Lianhan Shee
Beckoning me to follow
To the mound beyond the lea.

In trepidation I followed
The beauty of her form,
Entering a world of wonder
With neither night nor morn'.

The seasons were unknown,
The land ever fresh of hue,
Peace and joy ever present,
And love was ever new.

I was the only mortal there
In love as deep could be,
With the elusive maiden
Known as the Lianhan Shee.

Alas, there was a-miss there,
Perhaps it was human life,
With its unpredictability,
Its reasons, pain and strife...

Oh what was missing
Remains a mystery
What was missing
Remains unseen
As I examine subtle symbols,
The contents of my dream.
