Poem of the Month

PILLEADH AN DEORAÍ

Teach tréigthe roimhe anocht.

Ar an tairseach, faoi lom na gealaí, nocht,

scáile an tseanchrainn a chuir sé blianta ó shin.

Cathal Ó Searcaigh

EXILE’S RETURN

He’s back tonight to a deserted house.

On the doorstep, under a brilliant moon, a stark

shadow: the tree he planted years ago is an old tree.

Translated by Seamus Heaney

from: The New North: Contemporary Poetry from Northern Ireland
