Snowcapped alpine sleepy giants distant seen
Glisten with fading sun
Silently
Skyline that would God/ Goddess impress,
Below palace parapet
In awesome Dachau one October
Setting scene for old and well loved song
‘Neath splendid ceiling in palace hall
By Juno, Pluto, Pan and Jupiter
Himself adorned
In glorious Dachau one October
Sung with mirth
Encouraged to dizzy heights
By loving patient masterful hands
Slew Margy’s peak skilfully scaled,
Crested and spectacularly crescendoed
In harmonious Dachau one October
Lavish and abundant hospitality akin
To Cruachan’s own land
By a kind and noble people
Unfairly stained by long past
Sin amore
Raise heart and beat with humility and pride anew
In sad Dachau one October
Colour crisp cool air
Friendships forever forged
A link to last a lifetime
In lovely Dachau one golden October
Brew of hops and barley
Wine and endless song
Mirth, Mirth and pleasure
Priceless, nay, golden days
With deepest gratitude
We reluctant take our leave
Return now to the Beautiful City
Hearts will ache
For sweet Dachau that glorious October
Tadge O’Mullane October 2010
