Religion
Mother's Consecration
Translated by Alexander Carmichael (1900) · From Carmina Gadelica, vol. II (1900): Miscellaneous
Religion
Be the great God between thy two shoulders
To protect thee in thy going and in thy coming,
Be the Son of Mary Virgin near thine heart,
And be the perfect Spirit upon thee pouring —
Oh, the perfect Spirit upon thee pouring !
