We Drink a Health

Chorus:
We drink a health to bard and clan
And with this fire claim our land
A circle joined from far and near
Will name the homeland of the Cliar

Some journey from the land of Caid fair
To sing a song of the Rose Who reigns there
They travel by the light of crescent moon
Beneath a flag of white and blue

We drink a health to bard and clan
And with this fire claim our land
A circle joined from far and near
Will name the homeland of the Cliar

Our kin of Atenveldt from desert seas
Bring wondrous tales of victories
They speak of journeys long and battles won
The Flower blooms ‘neath the splendored sun

We drink a health to bard and clan
And with this fire claim our land
A circle joined from far and near
Will name the homeland of the Cliar

welcome

Cliar Cu Buidhe (Company of the Yellow Dog) is a troupe of traveling performers and their companions, founded in 2003 by Tighearna Domhnall mac Pharlain and Baintearna Beathog nic Dhonnchaidh, which forms a household with the Society for Creative Anachronism.

Membership is open to anyone of good character who shares the group's interests and who desires to promote the bardic arts of song, poetry and storytelling, as well as the other performance arts of instrumental music, juggling, dancing and medieval theater. Companions of the household need not be performers, but will be expected to lend support and appreciation to the performers of the troupe and contribute to the overall atmosphere of all household gatherings.
