The Mystery of Amergin

I am the wind which breathes upon the sea
I am the ocean wave,
I am the murmur of the billows,
I am the ox of the seven combats,
I am the vulture of the rocks,
I am a sunbeam,
I am the fairest of plants,
I am a wild boar in valour,
I am a salmon in the water,
I am a lake in the plain,
I am a word of knowledge
I am the point of the lance in battle
I am the God who lights fire in the brain
Who is it who throws light into the meeting on the mountain?
Who announces the ages of the moon?
Who teaches the place where the sun makes his bed?

From the Appletree Press title: Appletree Book of Celtic Verse.

Also from Appletree:
A Little Book of Irish Verse
A Little Book of Scottish Verse
