Padraic Colum (1881–1972). Anthology of Irish Verse. 1922.

By Dr. Douglas Hyde

1. A Poem to Be Said on Hearing the Birds Sing

A FRAGRANT prayer upon the air

My child taught me,

Awaken there, the morn is fair,

The birds sing free;

Now dawns the day, awake and pray,

And bend the knee;

The Lamb who lay beneath the clay

Was slain for thee.
