4. cuach!
le gach glaoch
leánn an sneachta
5. an é nach ngealfaidh
an lá amárach?
an lá ar fad, na fáinleoga
6. seandún?
bualtrach
brothall
7. nach milis é an féar!
an capall sléibhe
nár sléachtadh fós
8. an sruthán sléibhe
ag brostú leis –
cén áit?

4. with each call
the cuckoo
melts the snow
5. as though tomorrow
may never dawn –
all day, the swallows
6. an old fortress?
cow dung baking
in the sun
7. how sweet the grass!
the mountain horse
not yet slaughtered
8. mountain stream
hurrying, hurrying
where to?
