A Celtic Prayer

Deep peace of the
running waves to you.

Deep peace of the
flowing air to you.

Deep peace of the
quiet earth to you.

Deep peace of the
shining stars to you.

Deep peace of the
Son of Peace to you.

    I would like to hear this prayer recited in the natural language in which it was intended. I can only imagine it would be like music to the ears.

    A Celtic Prayer?

    How could "Irish Anonymous" be born in 1955? I also got a problem with the verbal construction of the poem. It does not translate literally into the native language although it's construction suggests it should!

      the birth date is not 1955 - this is the death date and as we are not sure of the written date of the poem we have to be careful due to copyright laws.
