Dán de dhánta an tsaoil nach bhfuil mar a bhí.... teacht an nEarraigh 🌱

Antaine Ó Raifteirí 1784-1835

"Anois teacht an nEarraigh
beidh an lá dúl chun síneadh,
Is tar eis na féil Bríde
ardóigh mé mo sheol.
Go Coillte Mach rachad
ní stopfaidh me choíche
Go seasfaidh mé shíos
i lár Chondae Mhaigh Eo."

I gClár Chlainne Mhuiris
A bheas mé an chéad oíche,
Is I mballa taobh thíos de
A thosós mé ag ól
Go Coillte Mách rachad
Go ndéanfad cuairt mhíosa ann
I bhfogas dhá mhíle
Do Bhéal an átha Mhóir.

Fágaim le huacht é
go n-éiríonn mo chroí-se
Mar a éiríonn an ghaoth
nó mar a scaipeann an ceo
Nuair a smaoiním ar Cheara
nó ar Ghaileang taobh thíos de
Ar Sceathach an Mhíle
nó ar phlánaí Mhaigh Eo.

Cill Aodáin an baile
a bhfásann gach ní ann,
Tá sméara is subh craobh ann
is meas de gach sórt,
Is dá mbéinnse i mo sheasamh
i gceartlár mo dhaoine
D'imeodh an aois díom
is bheinn arís óg.

Bíonn cruithneacht is coirce,
fás eorna is lín ann,
Seagal i gcraobh ann,
arán plúir agus feoil,
Lucht déanta poitín
gan licence á dhíol ann,
Móruaisle na tíre ann
ag imirt is ag ól.

Tá cur agus treabhadh
is leasú gan aoileach
Is iomaí sin ní ann
nár labhair me go fóill,
áitheanna is muilte
ag obair gan scíth ann,
Deamhan caint ar phingin cíosa
ná dada dá shórt.

An saol mar a bhí.... 📷

Oileán Ghabhla

Accessed out of Bunbeg, Gola is now uninhabited, though the houses show signs of being kept up, and an increasing number of summer homes have been built.

Gola is famed in song – "Báidín Fheidhlimí, d’imigh go Gabhla" was about a drowning tragedy involving a Gola boat on passage to Tory.

The modern concrete pier and sheltered beach on the east side is the main landing point for the island.

Walk to beautiful Magheranagall Bay, the deep indented bay on the west. Gola has excellent climbing on good granite, more developed than nearby Owey and very popular.

Robert Louis Stevenson came to honeymoon in Bunbeg in late 1880.

Captivated by the tales he was told of the Spanish Armada wrecks La Juliana and her sister ship Duquesa Santa and their crews, he wrote a great work of fiction around them.

Just like La Juliana, the captain had a peg-leg, an eye patch, a crutch, and a parrot sat on his shoulder.

Long John Silver is a composite of two sailors, while Treasure Island is Gold Island (“Gola”).
