We look forward to the arrival of Spring and lengthening days.
Here is the first verse of a famous Irish poem by the poet Antaine O’Raifteirí called Anois teacht an Earraigh –
“Anois teacht an Earraigh
beidh an lá dúl chun shíneadh,
Is tar eis na féil Bríde
ardóigh mé mo sheol.
Go Coillte Mach rachad
ní stopfaidh me choíche
Go seasfaidh mé síos
i lár Chondae Mhaigh Eo.”
Translation:
Now with the springtime
The days will grow longer
And after St. Bride’s day’
My sail I’ll let go
I put my mind to it,
And I never will linger
Till I find myself back
In the County Mayo.
Enjoy the weekend.
