When rooks fly homeward/ Préacháin ag Filleadh

File: Joseph Campbell
Cumadóir: (Scata Éagsúil)
When rooks fly homeward
And shadows fall,
When roses fold
On the hay-yard wall,
When blind moths flutter
By door and tree,
Then comes the quiet
Of Christ to me.

When stars look out
On the Children's Path,
And grey mists gather
On carn and rath,
When night is one
With the brooding sea,
Then comes the quiet
of Christ to me.
Préacháin ag filleadh
Is titeann scáth,
An rós fá shuan
San iothlainn tá,
Na leamhain dhalla
’Na n-eitilt rúin
Is seoltar síth
Ár dTiarna chugam.

Nuair ’bhreathnaíonn réalt’
Ar an Ógchosán,
Nuair a chruinníonn ceo
Go dlúth sa ráth,
Nuair ’théann an oích’
Sa sáile ciúin
Sea ’sheoltar síth
Ár dTiarna chugam.
