Cairo - 1966

níor thuig éinne
an uair sin, a thaisce
an tslí chun na bhflaitheas
        coinnigh greim ar ruball an chapaill
        b'in an tslí, dar leis na saoithe
it was a time
when none knew the way
to heaven, beloved
        hold on to the horse's tail
        that was the way, said the sages
