Colún Nelson (1966)
Phléasc an tIRA Colún Nelson
is fágadh le stumpa sinn
shiva lingam
thána i lár na hoíche
le bláthanna, bainne, uisce íon,
rís is duilleoga
chun pianta fíochmhara na hImpireachta a mhaolú
Nelson’s Pillar (1966)
The IRA blew up Nelson’s Pillar
we were left with a stump
a shiva lingam
I came in the middle of the night
with flowers, milk, pure water,
rice and leaves
to ease the savage pain of Empire
