The Virgin and Child II
Translated by Alexander Carmichael (1900) · From Carmina Gadelica, vol. II (1900): Miscellaneous
Religion
The Virgin was seen approaching,
Christ so young on her breast,
Angels making them obeisance.
The King of glory saying it is just.
The Virgin of gold-bedewed locks,
The Jesu whiter than snow,
Seraphs of song singing their praise,
The King of glory saying it is just.
