Travelling west from Garynahine
On narrow undulating way,
Rain wiped clear in double arc,
Side view blinkered by clouds of grey,
Rising over incline, slowing at the leap.
To gasp at sight of straggling warriors
On the hill side steep.

These soldiers, standing straight, attention,
Resting after manouvers grand,
Regroup around their stately general,
Reform as like a marching band,
A straight line curving in to cartwheel,
Banner raised as hub at centre,
Outliers, in obedience, kneel.

Onlookers, quiet, stand and stare,
No sound to release the spell.
As distant rolling breakers
Pay homage with their white horse swell.
The soldiers, steadfast at their post,
Relaxed within their arbour,
Are now a sleeping, saintly, host.
