Beyond Ben Bulbens Beauty
Once more I will go ,
beyond County Sligo ,
to a vision of Ben Bulbens delight .
Where twelve misty Bens over green grassy glens ,
touched the pilgrims prayers in heavenly flight .
It's there can be heard the Gaels soft spoken word ,
like a rapturous song perfectly sung .
Thick clouds have been found around this holy ground,
upon twelve peaks strange shadowy shapes have clung .
A mysterious sight welcomes all those who might ,
find their way to a nights star clustered show .
Majestic the sight from its depth to it's height,
God has cradled with heavens soft glow .
Such beauty is rare, you can never compare ,
all you can say is my God glory be .
If your mind is set to be where prayers are met ,
beyond Ben Bulben please say one for me .
