Page 89 - Trip to Ireland Final Flip Book

We head back

toward the

info center

and pass a

little short

watchtower

that has a

green boat
nearby. It is

supposedly
the original

property of a

pirate queen.

We wondered if it is the same Grainne Ni Mhaille who owned

the castle we saw earlier.

This is the country
of the Norman tower,
…They came and won,

and then for centuries

…This soft land quietly
Engulfed them…
But kept the jutting brow,

the slitted eye;
Only the faces

and the names remain.
