The Enchanted Fairy Isle
- Unknown Irish poet

To Rathlin's Isle I chanced to sail
When summer breezes softly blew,
And there I heard so sweet a tale,
That oft I wished it could be true.
They said, at eve, when rude winds sleep,
And hushed is ev'ry turbid swell,
A mermaid rises from the deep,
And sweetly tunes her magic shell.
And while she plays, rock dell and cave
In dying falls the sound retain,
As if some choral spirits gave
Their aid to swell her watching strain.
Then summoned by that dulcet note,
Uprising to th'admiring view,
A fairy island seems to float
With tints of many a gorgeous hue.
And glittering fanes, and lofty towers,
All on this fairy isle are seen;
And waving trees, and shady bowers,
With more than mortal verdure green.
And as it moves, the western sky
Glows with a thousand varying rays;
And the calm sea, tinged with each dye,
Seems like a golden flood of blaze.
They also say, if earth or stone,
From verdant Erin's hallowed land,
Were on this magick island thrown,
For ever fixed, it then would stand;
But, when for this, some little boat
In silence ventures from the shore-
The mermaid sinks - Hushed is the note,
The fairy isle is seen no more!

A Faery Blessing

To the Faery Folk
High and low
Blessed Be and Blessed go.
In perfect love
In perfect trust
You may depart if you must
But pray, stay if you will
All aglow and Peace be still.
