The language of the poem conveys humility and devotion, showing a desire to be aligned with the divine will in all endeavors. It resonates with the timeless Celtic tradition of intertwining spirituality and work, blending reverence for the divine with a practical plea for assistance in the challenges of life.
Rogha gach beathadh bheith bocht
neach ag a thogha acht gidh tearc
—uirre gan bhréig ní léir locht—
san phort nach téid céim tar ceart.
Bheith gan toice ní díoth dhún
mar íoc im olcaibh mar chrádh
nó bheith bocht do réir mo ríogh
díol a locht ní léir dá lán.
A uan fionn do fhás ón óigh,
uad i ngioll red ghrás a-táim;
asad gan bhréig fa dú dóigh;
is tú an ghlóir nach téid i dtráigh.
Red thocht i dtionól an Luain
an chroch 's an choróin red thaoibh
tiocfa sé 'n-a shochar dhúinn
dúil don rothal, a Dé, dhaoibh.
Ní fhuil ag neach grádh dá ghaol
—uch! ní neamh a-tám do thúr;
ar dtréidhe mo-nuar is nár;
grádh dá chéile badh dual dún.
Go dtí so gan doilgheas daoibh
—ós ort as oircheas a úidh—
suas don deaghbhragh, a shiur shéimh,
an t-iul réidh do dhearbhadh dhúin.
Gan luaghall éithigh ós aird,
gan uabhar, gan bhréithir bhuirb,
mar luagh i ndearnain an deilg
dual, a leinb, leanmhain do luirg.
A óigmheic arsaidh dar siair
mo chasbhraid go bhfóire féin
's ná leig m'anam uaibh dá thaoibh
sgaoil uainn mo ralam go réidh.
A Choimdhe do-chí mo riocht,
dar gcoimhdhe do bhí go bocht,
go fóil ná cinn ar an gceart;
fóir led neart inn ó gach olc.
s í ceard chosmhail a clódh
sul thí th'fhearg chum dochair dhún
dá bhar dtol, a rí na ríogh,
go dtí dhíom a cor ar gcúl.
A bhfuaras don chruinne ché
uaibh-se dá gach uile ní
bean dot fhiortaibh dhíom, a Dhé,
más díol é i gciontaibh mo chlí.
Poem written by Tadhg mac Dáire Mac Bruaideadha (1570–1652).
