Feichín's Bliss on Omey



In the play of sunlight and ripples,
that dance of the lake’s finery,
Feichín sees the splendour of Heaven
and sends his thanks to the Lord.

In the fish, silver treasure of the ocean,
the plenty that graces his table,
Feichín enjoys their steam-play with his nose
and sends his thanks to the Lord.

In the carpet of brightly coloured flowers,
bee-droning machair near the shore,
Feichín antcipates the sweetness of honey
and sends his thanks to the Lord.

In the uninhibited song of the lark,
sky-high notes from among the dunes,
Feichín feels the joy of God’s presence
and sends his thanks to the Lord.
