Hi, I have found your web site on Yahoo. I am the child of Irish Parents for my wedding ceremony I would like to print a short poem in Gaelic in my wedding program as a surprise for my parents. Can you please help me find a suitable verse with English translation? Any suggestions would be welcome.

Thank You,

Ann

Ortha Seirce agus Síorghrá

Ortha a chuir Muire in im,
ortha seirce is síorghrá:

ach d'aire a bheith orm,
go leana do ghrá mo ghnaoi
mar leanas an bhó an lao
ón lá go lá mo bháis.

from this day until my last.
