Farrera [19-21]

19. an cnagaire adhmaid
is máistir é
fiú roimh eadara


20. taoi amuigh ansan,
áit éigin, i do thost,
a shionnaigh shleamhain


21. cén fáth ar dheis?
cén fáth ar chlé?
féachaint shaonta an ghealbhain

Farrera [19-21]

19. the woodpecker –
first thing at morning –
is a master


20. you are out there,
somewhere, on silent feet,
wily fox


21. why look to the left,
the right? – impossible to say,
the simple sparrow
