Aisling McCall
The aisling (, , approximately ), or vision poem, is a poetic genre that developed during the late 17th and 18th centuries in Irish language poetry. The word may have a number of variations in pronunciation, but the ''is'' of the first syllable is always realised as a ("sh") sound. The aisling also features in traditional sean-nós songs. History of the form In the aisling, Ireland appears to the poet in a vision in the form of a woman from the Otherworld: sometimes young and beautiful, other times old and haggard.

The form developed out of an earlier, non-political genre akin to the French '' reverdie'', in which the poet meets a beautiful, supernatura ...
