Mirie it is/Meidhreach atá

Sasana, 13ú Aois

Mirie it is

Mirie it is while sumer y-last
With fugheles son
Oc nu neheth windes blast
And weder strong.
Ei, ei, what this nicht is long!
And ich with wel michel wrong
Soregh and murne and fast.

Meidhreach atá

Meidhreach atá, sé an samhradh é
Is ceol binn-éan;
Ach seo chugainn an ghaoth ghéar
Is gálaí tréan’.
Aidhe, aidhe, fad’ an oíche’, mo léan!
Seo mé is m’anamsa i bpéin
Buartha gan greim i mo bhéal.
