(para ed si rosa Maria Magno)

bulag ak ed amin ya aoaran
nisulat onong ed si Urduja
ta ag ko amta ni ya ikbanan
ira'y masnag ya uliran tonia

say simbolon tekep na angaran to
kabiangan la'y dala ed olat ko
linmamut tan inmotel la'd puso
tan kinmetket met la'd inkatoo

say maaoaran ya pakanengnengan
sarag ko ya ilikdem no bilang
nagimperan tonia'y pananisian
kinmeta la'd belas na liknaan

pulyan yonompaspas so kolor to
ed ontumbuk ya kailalakan


Crediting Poetry —Seamus Heaney
When the poet W.B. Yeats stood on this platform more than seventy years ago, Ireland was emerging from the throes of a traumatic civil war that had followed fast on the heels of a war of independence fought against the British. The struggle that ensued had been brief enough; it was over by May, 1923, some seven months before Yeats sailed to Stockholm, but it was bloody, savage and intimate, and for generations to come it would dictate the terms of politics within the twenty-six independent counties of Ireland, that part of the island known first of all as the Irish Free State and then subsequently as the Republic of Ireland.
