Patrick Mac Gearoit (Fitzgerald)

Patrick Mac Gearoit, also given as Fitzgerald, is dated by Sigerson, in Bards of the Gael and Gall (1907), to 1764. His vision-poem is set by the lake at Blarney, where a fairy woman foretells that warriors from Spain will come to free Ireland.

“The Spirit of Song” is given here in Sigerson’s English version.
