Donlan's Retreat was inspired by Dunguaire Castle, Kinvara, County Galway, one of many castles that dot the landscapes of rural Ireland, while traveling with friends (August 1996). Music: Star of the Country Down |
Donlan's RetreatIn a land far away -- A castle reflects the fading light of dayHere the Donlans came to stay -- To have fun, to laugh and play (And so did the Wades, Peacocks and the Terrys) -- They came by plane, train and ferries They came to paint, or read a book -- Or give the sunsets a lingering look Or peddle about on their trusty bikes -- Or go on dream-perfect, bird spotting hikes And Donlan is having his best game of all -- With a sweet little, white bouncing ball |
