A Bilingual (English-Irish) poem for the Epiphany

 A bilingual, Irish-English, poem for the Epiphany.



Nollaig Bheag–Eipeafáine! 

On the 12th night of Nollaig,

Little Christmas, Nollaig Bheag, 

Women's Christmas, Nollaig na mBan,


The Manifestation to the World--

Foilsiú

Revelation,

Soléiriú

Clarification,

Taispeánadh,

Showing the reality:

Leanbh, Máthair, Athair, Tréadaithe

A Baby, a Mother, a Father, Shepherds,

This most humble birthing place.

Our Druid neighbors bringing gifts--


Eipeafáine!
