Padraic Colum (1881–1972). Anthology of Irish Verse. 1922.
By Dr. Douglas Hyde1. A Poem to Be Said on Hearing the Birds Sing
A
My child taught me,
Awaken there, the morn is fair,
The birds sing free;
Now dawns the day, awake and pray,
And bend the knee;
The Lamb who lay beneath the clay
Was slain for thee.
