Here in the Middle of the Valley by Seán Mac Fheorais
(English Translation by Patricia Scarry)
The mass was read and everything done
And God’s people were scattering
When a noise was heard coming in our direction
Here in the middle of the valley.
“What is that noise towards us?”
“It’s the pounding of horses’ hooves”
“Here come the soldiers of the King’s army”
Here in the middle of the valley.
The old man Brian O Lee turned
And walked towards the priest,
And he whispered in his ear
Here in the middle of the valley.
“O Father Seán, O Father Seán
Here come the Red Coats
You cannot escape now
Here in the middle of the valley.
“You are young, Father Seán,
I am at the end of my life,
Swap your clothes with me now”
Here in the middle of the valley.
The clothes were swapped hastily
Against the priest’s will,
And he shed big, sorrowful tears
Here in the middle of the valley.
The English captured Brian O’ Lee
And the priest went free
They hanged Brian from a tall high tree
Here in the middle of the valley.
But the fame of the brave old man
Will live as long as grass grows on the earth
His story will forever be told by men of destiny
Here in the middle of the valley.
The Original Poem in Irish
Anseo i lár an Ghleanna by Seán Mac Fheorais
Bhí an tAifreann léite is gach rud déanta,
Bhí pobal Dé ag scaipeadh
Nuair chualamar gleo ag teacht ‘nár dtreo
Anseo i lár an ghleanna.
“Cén gleo é siúd ag teacht ‘nár dtreo?”
“Sin torann cos na gcapall.”
“Seo chugainn saighdiúirí airm an rí
Anseo i lár an ghleanna.”
Do chas an seanfhear Brian Ó Laoi
Is shiúil i dtreo an tsagairt,
Is chuir sé cogar ina chluais
Anseo i lár an ghleanna.
“Ó a Athair Seán, Ó a Athair Seán.
Seo chugainn na cótaí dearga;
Ní féidir leatsa teitheadh anois
Anseo i lár an ghleanna.”
“Tá tusa óg, a Athair Séan,
Táim féin i ndeireadh beatha;
Déan malairt éadaigh liom anois
Anseo i lár an ghleanna.”
Do deineadh malairt gan ró-mhoill
I gcoinne toil an tsagairt,
Is shíl sé deora móra bróin
Anseo i lár an ghleanna.
Do ghaibh na Sasanaigh Brian Ó Laoi,
Is d’imigh saor an sagart;
Do chroch siad Brian ar chrann caol ard
Anseo i lár an ghleanna.
Ach mairfigh cáil an tsean-fhir áigh
Fad fhásfaidh féar ar thalamh;
Beidh a scéal á ríomh ag fearaibh Fáil,
Is anseo i lár an ghleanna.

St. Pope John Paul II’s Prayer to Our Lady of Lourdes:
Hail Mary, poor and humble Woman, Blessed by the Most High! Virgin of hope, dawn of a new era, We join in your song of praise, to celebrate the Lord’ s mercy, to proclaim the coming of the Kingdom and the full liberation of humanity.
Hail Mary, lowly handmaid of the Lord, Glorious Mother of Christ! Faithful Virgin, holy dwelling-place of the Word, Teach us to persevere in listening to the Word, and to be docile to the voice of the Spirit, attentive to his promptings in the depths of our conscience and to his manifestations in the events of history.
Hail Mary, Woman of sorrows, Mother of the living! Virgin spouse beneath the Cross, the new Eve, Be our guide along the paths of the world. Teach us to experience and to spread the love of Christ, to stand with you before the innumerable crosses on which your Son is still crucified.
Hail Mary, woman of faith, First of the disciples! Virgin Mother of the Church, help us always to account for the hope that is in us, with trust in human goodness and the Father’ s love. Teach us to build up the world beginning from within: in the depths of silence and prayer, in the joy of fraternal love, in the unique fruitfulness of the Cross.
Holy Mary, Mother of believers, Our Lady of Lourdes, pray for us.
Amen.
