Jagdish Swaminathan

más ann don éinín
is leor sin domsa, a stór
glórach nó 'na thost
        ó, a ansacht, más ann duit -
        ná bíodh má asam ná dá . . .
if the bird is there
that is all i need to know
let it sing or not
        beloved, if You are there
        no ifs! - let me not say if . . .
