Rabhd Eudochais

Cry of Despair |
Dé ni ceòl no cainnt sgeilmear
no craobh a' fàs craobhach dealbhach
no blàth caomh a' chinnidh daonna
no beui gràidh le còmhradh beatha
no gilead na gréine no leugan na mara
no caoineadh
no sgarrghail rabhaidh
fiosrachadh foghair no samhraidh no earraich
no geamhraidh
dhan an fheadhainn a roghnaich
boidhr' agus doille -
's a tha 'n aghaidh ris a' bhailbhe?
An t-Oll. Dòmhnall MacArnhlaigh (1930-)

What's the use of music or polished diction
or tree that grows branching and shapely
or the gentle blossom of humanity
or loving mouth with talk of life
or the sun's brightness or the sea's jewels
or keening
or warning cry
knowledge of autumn or summer or spring
or winter
to those who have chosen
deafness and blindness -
and are facing dumbness?
Prof. Donald MacAulay (Bernera, Lewis) |
