DÍREACH LE RÁ
Gur itheas
na plumaí
a bhí
sa chuisneoir
is a bhí
á gcoinneáil agat
is dócha
chun bricfeasta
Maith dhom é
bhíodar an-bhlasta
breá milis
agus fuar
William Carlos Williams
THIS IS JUST TO SAY
I have eaten
the plums
that were in
the icebox
and which
you were probably
saving
for breakfast
Forgive me
they were delicious
so sweet
and so cold
