Iolach Buana (Reaping Salutation)

Each ridge, and plain, and field,
Each sickle curved, shapely, hard
Each ear and handful in the sheaf,
Each ear and handful in the sheaf.

Bless each maiden and youth,
Each woman and tender youngling,
Safegaurd them beneath Thy shield of strength,
And gaurd them in the house of the saints.

Encompass each goat, sheep and lamb,
Each cow and horse, and store,
Surround Thou the flocks and herds,
And tend them to a kindly fold,
Tend them to a kindly fold.

For the sake of Michael, head of hosts,
Of Mary fair-skinned branch of grace,
Of Bride smooth-white of ringleted locks,
Of Columba of the grave and tombs,
Columba of the graves and tombs.
