A hush falls over ancient hills as dusk gathers, and in the half-light, the voices of myth and longing awaken. Within these lyrical verses, the spirit of Ireland rises-tales shaped by the wind, the sea, and the enduring ache of love and legend. Each poem unfolds with the grace and intensity of early 20th century poetry, weaving together narrative and emotion in a tapestry that honours both the mythological past and the human heart. The collection draws deeply from the well of Celtic literature, reviving stories where fate and desire are inextricably entwined. Shadows of legendary figures move through these lines, their passions and sorrows echoing across the ages. The poet's mastery lies in conjuring atmosphere: wild landscapes, haunted by the memory of ancient deeds, are rendered in language at once vivid and delicate. The result is a romantic poetry collection that lingers in the mind, inviting readers to lose themselves in the beauty of lyrical poetry and the resonance of classic Irish literature. At its core, these poems possess a rare narrative force, each one a journey through longing, devotion, and the mysteries of the heart. There is a richness here for admirers of British poetry, as well as those drawn to the unique cadence and imagery of poetry about legends. Whether recounting the sorrows of lost love or the triumphs and tragedies of mythic heroes, the verses capture the tension between the ephemeral and the eternal, the personal and the universal. This book was out of print for decades and is now republished by Alpha Editions. It has been restored for today's and future generations. This edition is not just a reprint - it's a collector's item and a cultural treasure. For general readers, collectors, and anyone captivated by the enduring allure of Irish poetry, this volume offers an invitation to return to the roots of storytelling, where myth and music blend in unforgettable harmony.
