I Have News For You

(click for link to soundcloud)


I have news for you;
The stag bellows, winter snows, summer has gone;
Wind high and cold, the sun low, short its course,
The sea running high.
Deep red the bracken; its shape is lost;
The wild goose has raised its common cry,
cold has seized the birds' wings;
Season of ice, this is my news.


Anon., 9th century Irish
