[This text were written by the ancient Pagan poet Amergin Glungel.
Many versions of these poems exist in Welsh and Irish, and their
highly charged natural images are still potent today.]

Ailiu iath nErenn...

I am the wind that breathes on the sea
I am the wave, wave on the ocean
I am the ray, the eye of the Sun
I am the tomb, cold in the darkness
I am a star, the tear of the Sun
I am a wonder, a wonder in flower
I am the spear as it cries out for blood
The word of great power
I am the depths of a great pool
I am the song of the blackbird

Who but I can cast light upon the meeting of the mountains?
Who but I will cry aloud the changes of the moon?
Who but I can find the place where hides away the Sun?

From the breeze on the mountain
To the lake of deep blue
From the waterfall down to the sea
Never changing or ending on the voice of the wind
Sing the dark song of Erenn to me
