A Thiarna,
nuair a sheolfaidh tú an fhearthainn
smaoinigh tamall,
le do thoil?
Ná
lig d’fhuaim an uisce ag titim
dul i bhfeidhm rómhór ort,
an solas iontach
ar an uisce ag titim.
Táimse
faoi bhun an uisce sin.
Titeann sé le fórsa éachtach
agus an solas
Dallann
sé ar an solas mé
Untitled
Lord,
when you send the rain
think about it, please,
a little?
Do
not get carried away
by the sound of falling water,
the marvelous light
on the falling water.
I
am beneath that water.
It falls with great force
and the light
Blinds
me to the light.
James Baldwin
