I am a wave on the windy sea

Over land and sea I am the wind

I am the eagle on the cliff

I am the stone within the mountain

I am the salmon in the forest pool

I am the strength of the boar in rut

I am the tines of the mountain stag

I am the bravery of the wild bull

I am the flower in bloom

I am the seed within the flower

I am the grain that feeds the people.

I am a word of magic

I am the strength within the strong

I am the silence within the secret

I am the knowledge within the knower

I am the enchanted point of a battle spear

I am the radiant sun of light

I am the stars in the cauldron of sky

I am the ages of the moon.

My word brings the world into being

I grow the shady wood

I release the cleansing waterfall

I hold the pool of the lake

I raise the lofty green meadow

I am the well in the hill

That nourishes the people

I am the people

I am the past

I am the future

I am the sacred land

I am the sea and the sky …

—Based on a poem by the bard Amairgen Glúingeal
