The Gaelic Poetry Nook will present poetry both in English and Gaelic.

Ged chuirinn dhiom éideadh Should I even strip off
Ged chuirinn dhiom éideadh
Faireachaidh na cluaineis
'S nam falbhainn 10m gleusta
'Nam chaoir céille buadhmhoir,
Ruiginn an-sin cré-ghaol
Mo chéille luaidhe
'S liùbhrainn do t' éibhneas
Caoir na céille buadhmhoir.
Should I even strip off
My deceit-proof clothing
And go naked and eager
As a blaze of supreme reason,
I'd then reach the core-love
Of my reason for living
And I'd add to your pleasure
The blaze of supreme reason
Somhairle MacGill-Eain
Sorley MacLean
