The Hounds of Knowledge
Sliver bright in the candle’s light
Two dogs a�?tangled in burnished gold.
Shimmer shine this trinket of mine,
Fine crafted in design of old.
Seek always for it in the books -
Keepers of knowledge to mark my path.
From book of Kells, its presence tells -
My place to save and still my wrath.
A gift from Blood through word of Blood -
Gifted, the precious was, to me.
To aid in learning’s dawning yearning �?BR>A gift of love to set mind free.
