    “Tá lios i bpáirc Sheán Í Connaill.”

    Share Share Post
    Céad bliadhain ó shin do thuit an rud seo amach.
    Tá lios i bpairc Sheán Í Connaill. Tá sé inaice abhann. Tá dhá chloich inaice leis an lios. Do chonnaich mé an lios go minic. Lá amháin do bhí bean ag nígeadh éadaig ins an abhainn. Do cúladh sí an chainnt agus dubhairt an guth léi,
    "A bhean anso sa tobar nígheacháin
    Abair lem' athair agus mo dhritheár
    Go bhfuilim annso sa liosachán
    Abair leó go bhfuil luibh ag fás
    Go bhfuil bun ramhar agus barra dearg air.
    Abair leó é do bhaint agus é do bheiriú i meidhg de bhainne agus é thabhairt cúgham i bhios nó gan fhios agus raghfadh abhaile chun mo leanbh".
