The Shrine of Brighid

Here is Biddy, dressed in white.
Give her something to get through the night.
Here is Biddy, dressed in white.
Give poor Biddy a little light.

Give poor Biddy something!
Look, her clothes are torn.
Give poor Biddy something!
Look, her shoes are worn!

Here is Biddy, dressed in white.
Here is Biddy, dressed in white.
Give her something to get through the night.
Here is Biddy, dressed in white.
Give poor Biddy a little light.

��Traditional Irish song

Brighid, gold-red woman,
Brighid, flame and honeycomb,
Brighid, sun of womanhood,
Brighid, lead me home.

You are a branch in blossom.
You are a sheltering dome.
You are my precious freedom.
Brighid, lead me home.
��Irish prayer

Brighid of the oracles,
Brighid of the twisted hair,
Brighid, friend to woman,
Brighid of the fire.

Brighid of the fire's fuel,
Brighid of the cloak,
Brighid of the tender hands,
Brighid of the oak.

��Irish invocation to Brighid
