The Song of Amergin
I am the wind on the sea,
I am a wave on the ocean,
I am the roar of the sea,
I am an ox of seven exiles,
I am a hawk on a cliff,
I am a tear of the sun,
I am a turning in a maze,
I am a boar in valour,
I am a salmon in a pool,
I am a lake on a plain,
I am a dispensing power,
I am a spirit of skilful gift,
I am a grass-blade giving decay
to the earth,
I am a creative god giving inspiration.
Who else clears the stones of
the mountain?
Who is it who declaims the sun's
arising?
Who is it who tells where the
sun sets?
Who brings cattle from the house
of Tethra?
Upon whom do the cattle of Tethra
smile?
Who is this ox?
Who is the weaving god who mends
the thatch of wounds?
The incantation of a spear,
The incantation of the wind.
