Selections from Ancient Irish Poetry

SUMMER IS GONE

Kuno Meyer translation

My tidings for you: the stag bells, Winter snows, summer is gone. Wind high and cold, low the sun, Short his course, sea running high. Deep-red the bracken, its shape all gone— The wild-goose has raised his wonted cry. Cold has caught the wings of birds; Season of ice—these are my tidings.
