SALTRUIGHIDH mis air an t-suil,
Mar a shaltruigheas eal air tigh nocht, [traigh?
Ta neart gaoithe agam air,
Ta neart greine agam air,
Ta neart Mhic Righ Neamh
Agus talmhainn agam air,
Trian air na clacha glasa,

’S trian air a mhuir mhoir,
Is i fein acfhuinn is fearr ’g a ghiulan.

TRAMPLE I upon the eye,
As tramples the swan on a bare house, [strand?
Power of wind I have over it,
The power of the Son of the King of Heaven
And of earth I have over it,
A portion of it on the grey stones, [third

* * * *
And a portion on the great sea,
She herself is the instrument most able to bear it.
