Is tu riamh an ceann do dhleastanais, mu chòcaireachd, caoraich, leabhraichean; a bheil fios an d’fhuair thu do dhìol airson do dheataim is spàirn is sgìths? —Meg Bateman, “Màthair” from Soirbheas/Fair Wind, Polygon Books 2007 A #Gaelic #poem for #MothersDay

Màthair
Meg Bateman

Bha sinn a’coimhead nan rionnag
mus do thionndaidh sinn a-steach leis na coin,
is thuirt thu gum bu mhithich dhut
na h-ainmean aca ionnsachadh gu ceart.

Ach chan fhada gus am bi thu fhèin nam measg
’s is mise a bhios a’feuchainn ri d’ainmeachadh,
thusa aig nach fhaca mi do nàdar
ach mar phriobadh fann an cuid solais –

Is tu riamh an ceann do dhleastanais,
mu chòcaireachd, caoraich, leabhraichean;
a bheil fios an d’fhuair thu do dhìol
airson do dheataim is spàirn is sgìths?

O gun lasainn de dh’aighear annad
na leigeadh leam d’fhaicinn gu slàn,
no chan fhaide thu bhuam nuair a shiùbhlas tu
nab ha thu rim thaobh a-nochd.

Mother
English translation by Meg Bateman

We looked at the stars for a while
Before we turned in with the dogs,
And you said it was high time
You learnt their names properly.

But soon you will be among them yourself
And I will be the one trying to name you;
You whose nature I have seen
Only as their faint points of light –

As you labour behind duty,
Behind house-work, farm-work, books,
And who knows if you have your reward
For your care and effort and exhaustion.

I wish I could kindle a joy in you
That would let me see you whole
Or you won’t be further when you go
Than you were tonight at my side.

On 16 Sept 1642 Rosa O'Doherty signed this letter. This is possibly a unique surviving example of a 17thC signature of a #Gaelic Irishwoman. (The letter is now in @ucdarchives.bsky.social as part of the Franciscan collection)

Quaking aspen leaf ♥️ (Populus Tremula) Highlanders thought of aspen as a magical tree. An aspen leave placed under the tongue would make the bearer more eloquent...🍃 #ColorADay #RedWed #mythology #folklore #Gaelic #autumn #trees #forest #nature #photography
