Ní dá bhfaca i measc gach ní eile,Smaoineamh amháin ar neamh is ar tír: Ciúnas is callán is iad le chéile I bpálás suite. Is siúd ag sní An fhís mhisteach i ngach aon bhall Sa duine, sa choill is fós sa ghlaise Is cé a bheadh in ann a rá Arbh é sruth mo bhrionglóidí é nó a mhalairt. Seal ag éirí mar laomfhuinneamh I m’aigne, ar a grinneall, Gur leath ansin ar fud na cruinne – Guthanna na gaoithe is iad ar tinneall. UNITY
[extract]
ONE thing in all things have I seen:One thought has haunted earth and air: Clangour and silence both have been Its palace chambers. Everywhere I saw the mystic vision flow And live in men and woods and streams, Until I could no longer know The dream of life from my own dreams. Sometimes it rose like fire in me Within the depths of my own mind, And spreading to infinity, It took the voices of the wind . . . |
