Shannon, silver goddess, flow to sea <br />And life bring you with thee <br />To the oceans loud and proud swell <br />Thy waters come, as if from a well <br />From which all of Ireland drinks <br />Your waters pure, the midlands links <br />With the seas wide expanse <br />With whose waters yours joins in a dance. <br />And so, silver goddess, each mile you grow, <br />Blesses be your waters that into the Atlantic flow.<br /><br />Tomás Ó Cárthaigh<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/shannon-silver-goddess-flow-to-sea/
