I Bind Unto Myself Today
St. Patrick’s Breastplate
The Virtues Of The Star Lit Heaven,
The Glorious Sun’s Life Giving Ray,
The Whiteness Of The Moon At Even,
The Flashing Of The Lightning Free,
The Whirling Wind’s Tempestuous Shocks,
The Stable Earth, The Deep Salt Sea
Around The Old Eternal Rocks.

Each image is a simple block print. Here are a few close ups:
