Religion
God of the Moon, God of the Sun
Translated by Alexander Carmichael (1900) · From Carmina Gadelica, vol. II (1900): Miscellaneous
God of the moon, God of the sun,
Who ordained to us the Son of mercy.
The fair Mary upon her knee,
Christ the King of life in her lap.
I am the cleric established,
Going round the founded stones,
I behold mansions, I behold shores,
I behold angels floating,
I behold the shapely rounded column
Coming landwards in friendship to us.
