Love of the Claddagh
With this crown
I give my loyalty
With these hands
I offer my service
With this heart
I give you mine
Always and ever
My love ever true
Always and ever
Shall be my love for you
While I give you my heart
Let you never break it
While I give you my fealty
Let you never shake it
Yet I give you my thirst
And I ask you to slake it
In Love, in Friendship let us reign

Coolattin Poets Society
for Royal Claddagh |
A unique collection of new Claddagh poetry specially commissioned by Royal Claddagh, Ireland, to celebrate the Royal Claddagh ring and its centuries of tradition in words and song. The Coolattin Poets Society was created to produce a new kind of verse. Following in the original Celtic traditions of the spoken word, these poets have created poetry that is alive, poetry that speaks directly to the listener. These verses are written in Coolattin, have all been recorded in the local village of Shillelagh, and are recited by the authors themselves. The resulting poetry is lyrical and recorded with haunting Celtic background music.
