Rune of Saint Patrick

about

Charles Mangan’s translation of the11th c. hymn St. Patrick's Breastplate (Cry of the Deer) from the Faedh Fiada.

lyrics

At Tara in this fateful hour
I place all Heaven with its power,
And the sun with its brightness,
And the snow with its whiteness,
And fire with all the strength it hath,
And lightning with its rapid wrath,
And the winds with their swiftness along their path,
And the sea with its deepness,
And the rocks with their steepness,
And the earth with its starkness:
All these I place,
By God’s almighty help and grace,
Between myself and the powers of darkness.
