Sophie Gengembre Anderson

conas, a chumann
conas a thagaimse ort
i bhfuaimeanna agus i dtostanna
         gach áit: do chogar ciúin
         i bpaidir dílleachta

why is it beloved
why do I find You
in sounds and in silences 
       everywhere: I hear You whispering
       quietly in an orphan's prayer
