Red Hugh O'Donnell, Fighting Prince of Donegal: Brendan Rohan Poem
'Seeking, Never Finding' a poem composed by Brendan Rohan about Red Hugh O'Donnell, the fighting prince of Donegal. Red Hugh is buried in Northern Spain.
Seeking, never finding …..
Last night as I lay dreamin’, I dreamt of you, Red Hugh,
We’d stepped aboard our sailing yacht, and set off, just like you.
Landing at Coruna, we walked that 80k
Along that same Camino route, they call St James’s Way.
I thought of all the battles, I had fought in word and deed,
Like you, I sought no quarter, no counsel would I heed,
I’d learned the art of warfare, I’m game for every test,
Fianoglach to backbone, I hardly stopped for rest,
‘Twas on the 21st of June, from early dawn of day
I searched each lead, each alleyway, that I might not betray,
My Irish friends awaiting, for news of where is hid,
The resting place of heroes, somewhere in Valladolid.
You’re not alone there, Aodh, me boy. Another quest in mind,
I crossed the wild Atlantic once, the New World there to find,
St Brendan laid a path for us, which Columbus followed true,
He’s buried there not far from you, and likewise, he’s lost too.
When asked a simple question … “How long do you have here”
And “why you’ve come among us”, I realised, if near,
The Reaper is to taking me, I’ll set off with a will,
And hope to die in this fine town … my destiny fulfil.
So lay my bones in rich red earth, like Christopher and Hugh.
No marker put above my grave, cause we’re not there, that’s true,
We’re chasing other dragons. We’re sailing other seas,
You’ll find us in your own sweet dreams. So … enjoy your own Dis-Ease.

Beautiful video ❤
Beautiful mother tongue. So rich in meaning. Steinbeck admired Burns so much.
Very impressive mate ❤very impressive indeed ✊iv only been collecting 6 yrs but I do what ever it takes to get good bottles for my bottle room 🎉and I look at like this ,their old their often local family’s company’s and their not making any more ❤
Soundtrack is too loud and covers the explanation given by the grower.
Thank you for this!
Very interesting video enjoyed watching, one of my next things to try i am looking forward to it
wonder if this geezer is still kicking about
I thought Id listened to every version of this poem on youtube. Each one better than the others in some respect. Thank you.
Aw i wanna go. Anyone else here after reading proverbs 31 and wondering how linen is made exactly?
My Alexander’s for originally from Scotland a lot went to Ireland and then came to North America it was a family of seven children called the famous seven that came on a boat if anybody else has connections to this family love to hear any comments
Kaszanka (balck pudding) is the tastiest with fried onion and bread.
My grandmother was born an Alexander, Western North Carolina, apparently we came through Cecil Maryland immigration. The tree runs out in Dungal.
I feel like human beings in general are made to do this kind of work with nature. Edit: I just ordered heirloom flax seeds for the garden. 👍🏻
🕊🕊🕊❤🕊 Thank you thank you I just love this ❤
HI I have milk bottle and whiskey bottle and Old schinapp bottle please are you interested
What the hell language is this guy speaking. It certainly isn't English.
English with an Irish accent, you dim muppet
I had no idea Flax was the source material for that. I learned something new, thanks:)

I'm so hungry now!

Very informative. I'm looking forward to seeing the english language version.
How informative and extremely fascinating❣️😍Thank you for sharing❣️💋💖🦋
Excellent art. You could teach it to people. Wonderful.
Thank you, so much, for this very detailed and informative video! I would love to see the final process on the spinning wheel. I'm Scots-Irish so the background music filled my soul with peace.
I absolutely love listening and watching you cook❤❤❤❤
Love this. My dad used to recite it for us when we were kids. He was a Tyrone man 🇮🇪☘️
Thx so much 4 the education. Heaps of processes. Silly me thought Linen came from Cotton. I just thought Egyptian Cotton somehow became cause linen
I'm scottish but my ancestors were from Egglybane, Lisnamulligan, and Castlefinn in Donegal. I love learning about life in Donegal
Love. Just love.

This work is extremely hard on your back.
Thank you for showing us why we should appreciate our natural fiber clothes far more than we do. He is a wonderful person to demonstrate this skill.
THAT WAS A VERY GOOD VIDEO - MY WIFE AND I WATCHED EVERY MINUTE OF YOUR VIDEO - LIFE WAS HARD IN THE BYGONE DAYS AND PEOPLE HAVE GROWN WEAKER AND WEAKER - BUT WE APPRECIATE YOUR WISDOM AND YOUR WORK ETHICS - BRAVO TO THE OLDER GENERATIONS!!!!!!!
Memorizing this process in the event of the apocalypse. These crafts need to live on. Beautiful process, and I would love to do it myself someday!
It does, human have a very beautiful tendency, to adapt. You can make clothing from sheep hair, flax plants and fiber from the woody stems of certain plants.
Use same steps with cannabis or hemp. Easier to grow, same properties as linen and same frequencies. 😊
