A glow by which we live and learn
And when spring dawns our thoughts return
To Bridget, Mary of the Gael.
You are no pagan deity
But God bathed you mysteriously
In lights of ancient piety
Dear Bridget, Mary of the Gael.
Within the Bridget's Cross we find
The fabric of the Gaelic mind
Folklife and faith securely twined
Dear Bridget, Mary of the Gael.
With Patrick and with Colmcille
You guided us to do God's will
In these dark days, be with us still
Dear Bridget, Mary of the Gael.
Ar uair ár mbás bí linn go fóill
To watch, to comfort, and console
Spread out your cloak upon my soul
Dear Bridget, Mary of the Gael.
Beautiful — thank you!
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you like it! Thank you!
DeleteThere can be a special-something about poetry or songs that end verses with the same or similar lines. Great stuff
ReplyDeleteI think so too, and that's what I was aiming for. Thank you!
