Gather Me Gaelic

~*Marge Tindal*~

Across the seas of merriment
docking pier on olden shore
Whistling home past lamplight square
as in the days of yore

Engage me near the heather
o'er hills rolled kelly green
Where sunshine streams upon a lea
homeward-bound on heavenly beam

Heartland of the ones I love
more than I can say
Gather me Gaelic
O' gather me Gaelic
Half-a-world away

Just beyond the garden gate
waits my heart's intend
Gathered in the arms of grace
I have come home again

Níl aon tintéan mar do thintéan féin

Now you must know how much I love this one, all my relatives are there!  Oh, but if I could walk through my Aunt's garden gate, I would be one happy little camper!  I absolutely love this one, into the files it goes, and off to my Aunt by the wonders of science!  Beautiful!

Now THAT'S what I call "multi-media"!!  HOW did you get the music to play??  This was a straight teleport into a beautiful green land, a few thousand miles away.  Very cool!

And, it touched my Irish heart.

Marge:  This captured me from the first line and swell of the pipes.  Being half Irish, it was a magical read for me.  Thanks.  Wonderful poem and art work.

Ah Marge........beautiful writing!
My Grandfather's name is Gaelic...Thyrle Gerard Foster...first name Thyrle.  He's the guy that raised me and although I don't have him now I still learn from him everyday!

                          "Heartland of the ones I love
                                more than I can say
                                  Gather me Gaelic
                                O' gather me Gaelic
                                 Half-a-world away"

I especially loved this verse!

Tá brón orm faoin moill.

I didn't know if you're Scots (Gàidhlig) or Irish (Gaeilge) with your Gaelic.  Would Scots be correct?

Please tell me
Bí cinnte de Déanfaidh mé nóta de.

Of course, I am Irish and ...

Beautiful work, as usual, and, as usual, I am far down the list of commentary.

ahh, yes, me merry Margie lass!  It brings a tear to me eye, it does.  It makes me want to bellow out the song using the two notes I can sing.  (I think I have two notes because I make my voice change to a lower pitch sometimes to add special effects to my singing).  This was a very special poem.  I love the way it flows.  Oh, and before I forget - here's a huge hug for ya.
