Shadows On The Shannon

Fishers of rivers and men, to a peaceful banquet
basking round pebble stones beneath the shadows and shallows of the Shannon .
Come then to the Shannon where the salmon are free to run
from Cavan to Clare in the sunlight there casting shadows on the Shannon .
So come and feast your eyes on the thatched roofs that lie scattered
where the wild flowers decorate the shadows there,  by the banks of the Shannon .
Come and see the hand crafts of the women who weave their home spun gift's .
Come and walk through the long shadows and softly talk by the Shannon.
