Teifigh

Ivan Milev, Teifigh, 1926
tagaid as duifean
imíonn siad as sa duifean
cad tá á dtiomáint
        cuirimid lámh lenár gcroí
        sreang dheilgneach 'na thimpeall
they come from the gloom
and vanish into the gloom
fleeing we know not
        we put a hand to our heart
        it's surrounded by barbed wire
