''The most photographed Dolmen in Ireland''

"Poulnabrone Dolmen":

Immortal resident of the Burren earth
complex stones of unbroken time
with Capstone of downhill slope
for Sun to ski and reflect;
What stars draped you at birth
when dawn was nymph-new
and twilight's trance waltzed in?

Poulnabrone Dolmen an unbroken stem
in a glitter of Burren limestone
No tenant dweller encamped there
but time's perpetual aeons danced bright
as a rugged legionnaire!
Your story is a canopy of stone
from Neolithic farmer, the Fir Bolg,
to Milesian, Danaan and Gael.

Ancient treasure on a mystic's plain
a fire brand on a rugged carpet
Portal Tomb like a defiant bone
impaled on the bare Burren;
What enigma's fire ignite
from the matching of your stones
A bridge to a different time
or a world past Heaven's horizon?
Oh energy source vibrating there
you illuminate the Burren of Clare!
