Impression of the poet, Anthony Raftery,
executed by Donal MacPolin

Cill Aodáin an baile a bhásann gach nidh ann
Tá sméardha subh cróidh ann 'gus measardha gach sórt
's dá mbéinn-se 'mo sheasamh i gceart lár mo dhaoine
D'imeoidh an aois uaim agus bheinn arís óg'.

Killedan, the land where everything grows
There's an abundance of blackberries and all that is good
And if I were standing in the midst of my people
Age would fall from me and I'd be young once more.
