Naoise’s People

“Naoise Carries a Fleeing Dierdre” Unknown artist. The physical features of Naoise do not fit in with the Celtic stereotype of the time. Are theses the pre-Celtic people? Are the the Cruitin, recently adpated by the Ulster Scots as their forefathers? Or a completely different people? Did they build Newgrange, Naul, the dolmens at Howth, Aughnacliffe and the fairy forts at Coolfin and all over Ireland?

He who she loved… of the black, black hair
Ruby lips and cheeks, of the palest skin…
Not of the Celts as described them days
What was the heart, that beat within?

The Celts, warlike, tall and fair
Swept across Europe, wide, as if a flood…
Left their mark on every land
As a wild raging torrent would…

The God, Nuada of the Silver Arm
Balor… the God of the Evil Eye
Exist in Ireland, Wales and the Ukraine…
Echos of a time gone by.

But Naoise… he is in Ireland alone known,
As if only there his people do exist…
Are they the Cruitin, or others who built Newgrange?
Whose spirals are their calling card through times thick mist?

Have your say...
