    Is úar geimred; at-racht gáeth

    Description of winter and memory of the past

    Is ann a-dubhairt Caīlte: “Inam”, ar sē, “do dhamhaib allaidi & d' eilltibh dul a n-innib cnoc & carrac an-osa; & inam ēignedh do dhul i cūasaib brūach”. & a-dubhairt an laīd:

  1. Is úar geimred; at-racht gáeth;
    éirgid dam díscir dergbáeth;
    nocha te in-nocht in slíab slán,
    gé beith dam dían ac dordán.
  2. Ní thabair a tháeb re lár
    dam Sléibe Cairn na comdál;
    ní luga at-chluin céol cúaine
    dam Cinn Echtge innúaire.
  3. Mise Caílte, is Díarmait donn,
    ocus Oscar áith étrom,
    ro choistmis re céol cúaine
    deired aidche adúaire.
  4. Is maith chotlas in dam donn
    fuil is a chnes re Coronn
    mar do beth fa Thuinn Túaige
    deired aidche innúaire!
  5. In-díu isam senóir sen;
    ní aithnim acht becán fer;
    ro chraithinn corrsleig co crúaid
    i matain aigrid innúair.
  6. A-tlochar do Ríg nime,
    do Mac Maire ingine:
    do-beirinn mór socht ar slúag
    gé ber in-nocht co h-adúar.

Sampling declarations

All editorial introduction, translation, glossary, notes and indexes have been omitted. Editorial corrigenda are integrated into the electronic edition. Only the text of the Murphy's edition is retained, and for this electronic edition the variants cited by Murphy are not reproduced. A full citation of variants is likely in a future electronic edition.

Editorial declarations

Normalization: The electronic text represents the edited text. Words are segmented in accordance with CELT practice, but this segmentation may not be yet complete.

Quotation: Quotation marks are rendered q.

Hyphenation: Soft hyphens are silently removed. When a hyphenated word (hard or soft) crosses a page-break or line-break, the page-break and line-break are marked after the completion of the hyphenated word.

Segmentation: div0 encloses the whole text; div1 is the poem. Typographical line-breaks in prose passages are not marked. Page-breaks of the printed text are marked.
