No18 Fermanagh Sonnet
Celestial Erne a paradise pure
Soft lapping waters my pulse and my joy
With milk shades at twilight, lovers to lure
Dear Enniskillen with angels you toy
Diamond-like dews on Cuilcagh so whinny
As scintillant swans festoon the canal
Wren of Belcoo both giant and mini
Fermanagh of lakes and blooms for La Salle
God’s harpers at play at old Florence Court
Whilst bluebells still chime in yon Cladagh glen
How Slieve Beagh spring lambs rejoice and cavort
One kiss for Beleek when we meet again
Blue moon of my soul o’er grand Marble Arch
Old friends of the dawn to heaven they march.
Tom Clancy.
