To
You Brigit We Cling
the
king of the boars and the king of the cattle
to
you Brigit to you Brigit
the
king of the rams is proclaiming his battle
to
you Brigit to you Brigit
with
shoutings and groanings
and
terrible moanings
the
demons are wailing tonight
to
you Brigit to you Brigit
we
cling in our terrible plight
a
goddess—three sisters
the
proudest turn to you
to
you Brigit to you Brigit
the
sky cracks the sea overflows
the
earth splits open wide
to
you Brigit we cling
we
cling in our terrible plight
This poem quickly became a song. You may hear it in its a capella glory on SoundCloud.
