pomegranate / pomagránait

       Ohara Koson 

The shy little pomegranate bud,

blushing to-day behind her veil,

will burst into a passionate flower

tomorrow when I am away.

Bachlóg bheag chúthail na pomagránaite

ag luisniú laistiar dá caille,

pléascfaidh ina flós paiseanta

amárach agus mise as láthair.

Tagore 

(from Fireflies, proverbs, aphorisms, maxims)
