as AMHRÁN AN BHÁIS le Paul Laurence Dunbar

A  Death Song

Lay me down beneaf de willers in de grass,
Whah de branch'll go a-singin' as it pass
  An' w'en I's a-layin' low,
  I kin hyeah it as it go
Singin', "Sleep, my honey, tek yo' res' at las'."

Paul Laurence Dunbar



Amhráin an Bháis

Lig dom luí  faoi bhun na sailí ar an bhféar
Is beidh ceol le clos gach lá agam ón gcraobh,
Is nuair a bheidh mé thíos sa chré
Is ea a  chloisfidh mé an stéibh
Á rá, ' Codail leat, a stóirín geal mo chléibh.'
