Mr. A. P. Ward’s Gaelic letter to the Gael is cop¬
ied in full by the Tuam News of March 7. Those
who wish to see it in the modern Roman type with
the diacritical aspiration point should get that truly
national journal.
We have often urged our fellow countrymen of
the South and West of Ireland, if they desired to
be informed of the actual state of affairs there to
get the Tuam News.
Seinn a Ċaoṁ-Ċruit!
Fonn — Ní'l fios air.
Sing, Sweet Harp.]
Seinn, a ċaoṁ-ċruit, dam-sa seinn
Ceol air an am a ḃí,
A ḋúsóċas le n-a ġaeṫe binn'
Brón ċuiṁne in ar g-croiḋe:
Ceol a ṁeaṁróċas dúinn árd-tuaḋ
sgeiṫ soluis air an t-sliġe,
'Gus gaisgiḋ ṁór le báird 'g luaḋ'
,S doiġe 'nois, faoi smuid na h-oiḋċe.
Seinn, a ċruit ċaoṁ, dam-sa seinn,
Is ionnan ar g-cran go deo.
Do'n t-saoġal so feasd' ni ḃainean sinn
A g-cian aṁáin tám' beo.
Naċ brónaċ osnaiġeal gaeṫ' na h-oiḋċe
Measg do ṫeuda fann!
Aṁuil stáiriḋeaċt tuairisg guṫ na siġ
Nar cluineaḋ le fad' ann:
Guṫ cinnfeart 'tá 'nois faoi sgáil,
Raiḃ a d-tuaṫ, réir meas síor-ḃuan
'Gus filiḋ sealḃaḋ céim a's cáil'
Gan ainm 'nois faoi ṡuan.
Á ċruit 'tá osnaiġil guṫ na h-oiḋċe.
Measg do ṫeuda fann,
Is diṁaoin tuairisc guṫ na siġ
Le fada naċ raḃ ann.
Dar ḃ' ḟéidir duit-se blaoċ air ais
Ċum do ḃoṫan geug,
Na gaisgiḋ' d'éist leat, nois 'na d-ṫáis
Á's sostaċ 'néis dóiḃ eug.
Cad fáṫ, ní éiróċaiḋ cuiṁ' le deor,
Ḃeiṫ cuiṁniuġ'ḋ bruid' clan daor;
Fág iad- mar sin, faoi ṫaṁ go leor,
Tá na mairḃ aṁáin saor.
Sost, a ċruit ċrom ceoil na h-uaṁ',
Fuaim fuagraḋ luiḋe lae
Na saoirse, no 'g éisteaċt leat le cúiṁ',
Teiḋeam, feasda síos faoi 'n g-cré.
