Bríd

Trí scéalta a tháinig
bandia úd na heagna
leannán na bhfilí
is aoibh neamhbhásmhar
ar a haghaidh
gur ghlac sí chuici
míorúiltí coimhthíocha
is a cros crochta
ar bhalla an earraigh

Through stories came
the goddess of wisdom
lover of poets
bringing with her
an immortal smile
till she took to herself
alien miracles
with her cross hanging
on the wall of spring
